This episode hit all its marks. Possibly one of the most well-written episodes this show has experienced.
With this episode they didn't just portray love, they portrayed love correctly. They were honest with the fact that vows aren't kept, and love and life changes. I adore how they handled Marshall and Lilly in this episode. It was so honest and so bittersweet.
A recurring theme I found during this episode was that the characters would show up at just the right time to hear something or see someone that they needed to hear or see. I don't want to spoil the show. But Barney finally learned it. His character finally became the character he needed to become in order to be married. It was all due to his lessons learned from Marshall and Lilly.
I won't spoil anything, all I have to say is that this episode was extremely touching. All the way from the new vows, to the only vow, to the letting go, to the ring bear, to the twists and turns, to the sealing kiss, to the humor and, of course, to the final slap.
I don't have much else to say in this review. I could rave on and on about this episode. How the creators have handled this season in such a delicate and incredible way. It's amazing. A lot of people gave the first half of this season a lot of crap. I stuck it out. I knew it'd be worth it. And it was. This episode wrapped up so many plot lines. It left me perfectly satisfied.
Ted's speech on love - now that was perfect. "Love is the best thing we do."
I'm a huge romantic. I always have been. I'm emotionally touched by a lot of things - this show is included. I dream of my wedding day all the time and I constantly imagine the outcome of my love life. I'm a writer, and I write romance books. I don't know why I'm such a romantic, but I am. And that's why I connect with this show so well. I relate to Ted. I mean, I hope I don't end up 35 and basically alone, but I relate to him in the hopeless romantic sense.
Love is the best thing we do, my friends. There's a lot of hate in this world, and there's a lot of anger and animosity but it doesn't matter. There's love. Love is all that matters. I don't have to explain this to you. As Ted said, "It doesn't have to make sense to make sense."
Without love, guys, we'd be nothing. Without these quests for the other half of ourselves, without the wedding days and the first kisses and the honeymoons, without the vows and the proposals and the falling in love, our purpose in life would be nothing.
Of course, we aspire to achieve and succeed and chase our dreams, but I think the biggest dream of all is to fall in love with one who reciprocates. There's a Greek myth or something out there that there were these beings too powerful to be one person, so they were separated into two people and placed on separate parts of the earth in order to find each other. These people were called soul mates.
My friends, go looking for that soul mate. It's daunting, it's not promising, but without it we'd be for naught.
Without love, we'd be nothing.
Because love is the best thing we do.
