Where are my How I Met Your Mother fans? Whether you loved or couldn’t stand the highly-debated finale to HIMYM, one thing is for sure...the long-standing question of who is the mother kept us clinging to our couch cushions.

And when Ted finally did meet the mother of his children, we got to see them get married. But we didn’t get to hear their vows! 

So as a professional vow writer, these are the vows I would have created if Ted and Tracy were my clients.

Suit up and enjoy reading them.

Then perhaps you can reference these vows to inspire your own. Challenge accepted? 

Ted Mosby Wedding Vows

Tracy, 

The road to this moment has been paved with uncertainty, frustration, and loss. But I’d gladly stumble through every challenge again knowing that destiny was leading me to a rainy train platform where I’d finally meet the love of my life. 

You are the reason I kept looking, hoping, and dreaming. 

You are the woman that I knew in my heart had to exist.

You are the ending to my long search for great love and the beginning to the rest of my life. 

I promise to never forget that the Universe delivered on its plan for me. Now I will spend the rest of our life together showing my thanks by loving you with all that I have and everything I am. 

I promise to always admire your voice whether you’re singing your rendition of La Vie En Rose or jingles about breakfast foods. 

I promise to finally admit that I stole the yellow umbrella from you. But it’s technically our umbrella now anyways. 

I promise to love you every second...and through our own moments of uncertainty, frustration, and loss. 

I love you. I’m always going to love you...til the end of my days...and beyond. 

Tracy McConnell Wedding Vows

Ted,

I used to believe that each of us only gets one: one soul mate, one love of their life, one version of their happy ending. 

But then I met you and realized life only moves forward. It’s full of unexpected twists and new beginnings. This is how accepting a last-minute wedding gig with my band led me to my own wedding day, here, with you. 

You make me feel so deeply loved and adored. I promise to spend the rest of my life doing the same for you. 

I promise to be the calm to your worry and the voice of reason to your constant overthinking.  

I promise to admire your ability to find typos in menus and to always laugh at your shellfish puns. 

I promise to continue using your nickname, “Lady Tedwina Slowsby” every time you drive too slowly. I mean really...at least drive the speed limit, Sweetie. 

And above all, I promise to continue living a life full of adventure and love with you, Penny, and Luke at the center of it. 

You’re the love of my life, Pooh Bear. Let’s start creating some new stories together.
