Next chapter is going to move ahead to the wedding so it will be three month which is explained in this chapter.


They are standing outside the club that their new friend Tracy is playing at this night. After giving it some thought, Barney and Robin decided to go see Tracy's band play to get a feel on what type of music they play. Turns out, the music was exactly what both like and the band really sounds great live. Tracy is the main singer of the group, she plays bass but also the ukulele and piano which she doesn't use for the band. Barney and Robin listened to the band play for an hour and after the three new friends sat down and talked.

"Wow, you guys are really good." Robin says hugging Tracy before sitting down in a booth.

"Thanks. I'm glad you liked the set." Tracy says smiling thanking her two new friends and fans of her band.

"Yeah, we really liked the set. The songs are perfect for our wedding, your sound is really good too and we have decided that we would love for you and your band to play at our wedding." Barney and Robin had discussed a play list to go with whoever played at the wedding. They had both wanted a band because they wanted live music instead of pre-recorded music by a DJ/ They think that this band is perfect for their wedding and it's exactly the music they both like. The night before, they had talked about the music and hoped that Tracy's band will play for them.

"Thanks, I have talked to the band and they agreed to play the only thing we need is the date." Both Barney and Robin smiled from ear to ear excited that Tracy and her band will be their wedding band.

"Great, the date is July 13th. The ceremony starts at 6 and after is the reception." Robin wrote down the place the wedding was taking place at, the date, time and gave it to Tracy.

"We're so happy that you can play our wedding it's nice to know someone who has a similar taste in music as we do. I'm glad that we met." Robin says, she's so happy that not only does she get to have her dream wedding with the guys of her dreams but their reception is going to be epic with great music being played.

"Well, I'm glad we can play too this is our first wedding so thanks for thinking of us to play at your wedding we are honored." Tracy smiled happy to make new friends and book the first wedding for her band. "So, look, I got to get back to do another set with the band. If you like you can stay we have new music that will be played." Tracy said goodbye to her new friends and went back to the stage with the band.

"It was nice to see you guys, thanks for coming." She says leaving.

Barney and Robin stayed for a little bit longer before leaving. The next day is going to be busy for them, they had work then met up with Lily to discuss reception plans. Lily had been so excited about planning the reception that she stayed up late coming up with ideas for it. At 7pm that night Lily and Robin met at Maclaren's to start these plans but already when Robin arrived, Lily was already half way through planning the reception.

"Now, all we need is a band and a caterer." Lily said, excited showing Robin her big binder full of pictures and many things for the reception.

"I, Barney and I have a band already. They are fantastic and we saw them live last night." Robin started to go on and on about the band playing at her wedding which didn't exactly make Lily happy about her picking a band without her.

"Oh, really so what band is it?" Lily asked kind of sad and disappointed in her friend for keeping this from her.

"They are amazing, just wonderful live and we saw them last night. We had met this girl the day we came back from your house to the city on the train platform. She was going into the city for a gig her band was doing so we, Barney and I talked to her and she told us about her band. She's a really nice, cool, fun girl and we liked her instantly. Also, remember the story about Ted's yellow umbrella?" Robin, and the gang knew about the story of the yellow umbrella Ted found at the St. Patrick's Day party he went on and on about that party and the umbrella for months and then he lost the umbrella and stopped talking about it all together.

"Yeah, I remember why?" Still made Lily tried to let this slide to let Robin tell her about this umbrella.

"Well, she is the girl who lost the umbrella. Ted didn't know who the umbrella belonged to but we now know that the girl who's playing at the wedding is also the girl who lost the umbrella." Robin is still excited about Tracy and her band playing at her wedding but also making a new friend which Lily didn't like either.

"Oh, she seems great so now we only need a caterer." Lily isn't exactly happy about this, the way Robin talks about this girl it's like she's already replacing her as her best friend. She hates the idea of that but goes on to discuss caterers.

"Yes, tomorrow we are going to a couple of catering places to taste some food and then we're going to a bakery to taste some cakes. We can discuss and figure that out tomorrow." Robin says, she's exhausted and wants to go home to rest and see Barney who had to work late that's why it was only Robin who met with Lily this evening.

"Well, I have to go but we can meet here." Robin gives Lily the address of the first caterer she was going to tomorrow and Lily took it and placed it in her binder.

"Okay, see you tomorrow say hi to Barney for me." Lily waves her hand bye to Robin and Robin leaves catching a cab back to the apartment.

"Honey, I'm home." Robin hoped that Barney would be home when she got there luckily he was there sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey." He said pausing the TV.

"So, how was your day?" Robin goes over to the couch kisses Barney hello then sits beside him putting her feet up on the coffee table.

"Good, lots of paper work and a meeting with North Korea but same ole same ole." Barney had came home only an hour earlier knowing that he couldn't meet with Robin to discuss the reception plans he decided to just go straight home to wait for Robin to come home from meeting with Lily.

"How did the reception planning go?" Barney asked hoping they got somethings done before they meet with the caterers tomorrow.

"Good, we discussed colors, decorations, things for the tables and for the guests. Lily is going to meet us tomorrow at Brooks." Although Lily's a little mad at her for planning the music without her she still agreed to meet them at the first caterers to help pick out the food for the wedding.

"Great, so in three months we are going to be legen… wait for it. Married."

"Legenmarried." Robin says in unision smiling and kissing each other.

"I can't believe we're actually getting married. Us, the two most unlikely people in the world are actually getting married in three months." They both can't believe it, they really have come so far from where they were when they first met.

"I know, it's crazy but I'm so happy to marry you Barney this is the happiest time of my life. You have made me extremely happy and we're going to have an amazing/awesome life together." Robin feels it, for the first time in her life she knows now that this is forever. This is what she wants, there is no more running scared from her love for Barney she obviously could never stop loving him. It has been so confusing but if she never met him she would've never believed in love.

"Let's go to bed, I've missed you all day." Barney extends a hand and she takes it, he lifts her up from the couch dragging her to the bedroom.
