Hey guys! This is surrounding the clip from the first episode of season six where Marshall and Ted are outside of the church, so I pulled the dialogue from that as best I could (forgive me for anything I heard wrong, haha). tegan-loves-ncis-tiva, scissorhands101 and snowgirl098 thank you so much for your reviews! I'm going to try to get all of this (the last 2 or so chapters) out today and then go to work on my next idea. Ps its a little fluffy again, but what can you expect? 2 more chapters to go.

Robin had called Lucille, and she arrived in 20 minutes flat. She climbed out of her car with her 'white silk' sewing kit and her sewing machine. She got right to work and had the dress fixed for her in half an hour. Ted was outside sitting on a bench, finally calmed, except Barney had pulled him aside and asked him to do the wedding toast. Marshall had been going to do the one between him and Nora, but Barney and Marshall agreed, it was Ted who should have the honor of doing one for he and Robin.

"I hope it goes right…" He said it aloud to no one, and smiled at the thought of two of his best friends getting married. He looked up and saw Marshall walking towards him, beers in hands.


"Ok maybe I'm a little nervous." Ted was still worrying the label of his bottle while he talked to Marshall.

"Dude it's just a wedding toast."

"I know, I just I want it to be great you know. I want this whole day to be great."

"It will be." Lily stuck her head out of the church, and, spotting the two, called out to them.

"Best man, you're being summoned."

"Oh geez, what now." Ted could only imagine. Did Barney and Robin suddenly want to run off to Atlantic City? Did the preacher find the beer?

"Ted seriously relax. Everything's f" He broke his sentence off as it started to rain. "Ok and its raining."

"Yeah you were saying?" Ted called back at him as the two ran for the church. They dropped the bottles into a potted plant by the front door where they could pick them up later to dispose of them. Lily smiled at both of them before shooing them both up to the front of the church.


Barney was already there, smiling at the both of them when they came up to join them. Ted, standing right behind him, put his hand on his shoulder.

"Good luck Barney." He said it with a genuine smile, finally proud of him for taking this step. Marshall put his own hand on Ted's shoulder and squeezed it softly, before the preacher cued the music and those left in the church, and some who'd just arrived, turned to watch.

Lily was first down the aisle again, this time she couldn't contain the grin on her face as she reached the front. She stopped and hugged Barney, whispered how proud she was, and moved aside for Robin's entrance.

Lucille hand done wonders to the dress. She'd re-stitched the sides and the hem, removing a few of the inner layers of the skirt so that it was more sleek, more Robin. She'd taken what she could of the lace off. It looked like a whole new dress entirely.

Lucille was smoothing the skirt down along her legs, fluffing and fixing what she could. Robin smiled down at her, and fixed the clips in her hair one last time. No veil? Lily had asked her, holding it up. Robin shook her head. No, I don't want it. Lucille could fix a dress to be hers and unrecognizable, but another woman's veil was still that. Think of it as a tradition. Lily had smiled at the reference to her wedding, and left the veil on the cushion of a chair.

Now Robin was standing to the left of the archway, holding her breath and waiting for her cue. She didn't want a bouquet, didn't want to be holding anything when she made it to the front. She just wanted to get to Barney. The music cued again, and her heart started to beat wildly.

Gerome was on the other side of the archway. He held out his arm and linked hers as they met in the middle, and walked down the aisle in unison.

"Thanks for doing this." Robin smiled at him, tightening her grip on his arms so no one would see her hands doing their nervous dance. Gerome patted her hand.

"It's my pleasure." He hugged her as they made it to the front of the church, and released her to Barney's hand.


"Who gives this woman in marriage?" The preacher asked. The crowd was silent.

"Ah, we do." Marshall called out. He and Lily raised their hands. Robin laughed and Barney squeezed her hand.

"And who gives this man to be married?"

"His mother and I do." Gerome called out, followed by an ow. "What!" He whispered to his wife. She'd just stepped on his foot.

"You could've just said we do!" She hissed back.

"Are you? Oh fine. Sorry dear." He crossed his arms and leaned back against the pew.

"Will you please face each other and join hands?" The preacher said. Robin and Barney turned to look at each other.

"Barney, will you take this woman, whose hands you hold, choosing her alone to be your wedded wife? Will you live with her in the state of true matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, through good times and bad, in sickness and in health, honor her at all times, and be faithful to her?" Barney nodded.

"Of course."

"An you, Robin, will you take this man, whose hands you hold, choosing him alone to be your wedded husband? Will you live with him in the state of true matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, through good times and bad, in sickness and in health, honor him at all times, and be faithful to him?"

"Yes." She smiled up at him, her face matching the pure joy his was emanating onto her. Barney smiled. With Robin it was so easy. It had always been easy. As long as they were themselves, they would make it.

"May I have the rings?"

"Oh, yeah. Got them." Lily said. She stepped forward, pulling at the folds in her dress. "They were just… um… oh yeah." She went over to Marshall, pulled them out of his pocket, and handed them over.

"Thank you." The preached said, pushing the confused look off of his face. He blessed them, and held them out in the palm of his hands. "Barney, please take the ring and repeat after me." Barney took the ring.

"Yeah preacher dude, I've got my own vows to say." Barney smiled down at her.

"Oh, proceed then."

"Robin Scherbatsky. You are the only person in this world, no the universe that is as awesome as me, maybe even more. I have no idea when I started loving you, but it's always been leading me to you. I can't see myself living a single day without knowing you're there with me. I pledge to you my challenge, my promise to love and cherish you from this day forward until forever. Come hell, high water, or museum banning." Robin gave a snort of laughter. "With this ring…" He held it up. "I thee wed." He slid it onto her finger.

"Aww." Lily gave a soft cry and sniffled.

"Robin, please take the ring." The preacher held it out for her to pick up.

"Barney Stinson. If I could go back and tell myself that one day I'd be standing here in a church, in front of all of these people, with you, and that it was the happiest moment of my life, I'd never believe it." Barney gave her a look of fake shock, letting his mouth drop open before grinning at her. "Barney I love you like I'd have never thought I could. You're the excitement I crave, and a marriage to you could never be boring. I pledge to you my promise to love and cherish you from this day until forever." She held up the ring. "With this ring, I thee wed." She slid it onto his finger.

"Aww." Lily cried out again, this time unable to stop herself from crying. Marshall fought the urge to go over and hold her.

"In as much as you, Groom , and you Bride , have consented together in the union of matrimony and you have pledged your faith each to the other in the presence of God and this company, now by the authority vested in me as a minister, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife!" Barney's hand squeezed hers again, and his ring pressed into hers. She was astounded by the thrill it sent through her. Was it really true?

"You may kiss your bride." Barney pulled her close and pressed his lips softly against hers. He pulled away, smiled, and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her again as Ted and Marshall cheered.

"Ladies and gentleman, I now present Mrs. Robin and Mr. Barney Stinson." The church crowd stood and cheered as Barney and Robin made their exit. Lily extended her arms and Marshall and Ted each took one, following them out.
