Quote from Ted in The Best Man
Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, if there's one big theme to this story - and I swear, we're totally, almost, not really all that close to the end - it's timing. Timing is everything. For example, I never would met your mother if it weren't for a wedding. The last wedding I ever thought I'd be at. Barney: What do you think of this tie? Ted: Oh, thank God. Barney Stinson needs you right before his wedding, you assume there's at least one dead hooker in the closet, right? [laughs, opens closet]
