Future Ted Quote #95

Quote from Future Ted in Shelter Island

Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, sometimes you think you're living out one story, but the truth turns out to be something else entirely. At the time I thought the story was about whether Robin should be at the wedding. If only I'd understood what the real story was.

Stella: Having exes around... I don't know, brings up... unresolved things.

Stella: I wasted years trying to get Lucy's dad to decide if he was ready for this.
[flashback]
Tony: Seeing you guys, it's made me realize everything I had.
[flashback]
Stella: I used to dream that Tony would be spontaneous like this.
Future Ted: [v.o.] Seriously, kids, never invite an ex to your wedding.
