• Marshall : Ted, how do I explain this to you. Last night, I ate the best cake of my life. Do you think I'm gonna let that cake out of my life? Hell no. I'm gonna find out what bakery made that cake and I'm gonna get some more cake.

  Ted : That cake really got to you?

  Marshall : It haunts me.

• Marshall : Maybe she was a ghost. That's why she didn't want to kiss you because you past right through her and get really cold for a second. Oh my God, I just had a great idea for a screenplay.

  Ted : Marshall, she was not a ghost.

  Marshall : I know she wasn't a ghost. She picked up a bouquet proving she had corporeal form.

• Ted : [Wondering if he should go into the bakery to meet Victoria]  And to our dying day, we will remember everything about that night as perfect. Maybe we both need that. So many things go wrong in life, but this is the one thing that never will. It'll always, always be pure, unadulterated awesome. If I walk in there, I'm robbing both of us of what could be...

  Barney Stinson : The meter's running, dude! Crap or get off the pot.

• Lily : So that's what happened to the bouquet. Well, good for Victoria, that's an evil tradition.

  Ted : So wait, you're not gonna have one at your wedding?

  Lily : Hell, yeah, I'm gonna throw that flower grenade and yell "Crawl for it, Bitches!" It's just what girls do.

• Barney Stinson : Ted, oh my gosh, I love this moment, you know why? Because I'm gonna say it and this time you're actually gonna say yes, you ready? Ready to say yes? Ted, suit up!

  Ted : Yes!

  [starts to leave, Barney laughs, Ted quickly comes back] 

  Ted : No.

  Barney Stinson : [frustrated]  Oh, come on!

• Victoria : [Her and Ted have decided not to to tell each other their real names]  You can call me "Buttercup".

  Ted : Pleased to meet you, Buttercup. I'm... Lando Calrissian... Wow, this is kind of exciting; our names will forever be shrouded in...

  Barney Stinson : [Coming up to them]  Ted! Ted! Ted! Look, I got a bridesmaid! Ted! Look, look, Ted! The second-hottest bridesmaid! Ted, look! See-ya, Ted.

• Ted : There was no Victoria at the wedding.

  Lily : Maybe she used a second fake name. Oh, she's good, she's very good.

• Ted : [On the phone]  Hey, Claudia, great wedding, beautiful toast, touching stuff. How's the honeymoon? Listen, I'm calling because last night I met this girl and I was wondering if you had...

  Claudia : Oh, you have got to be freakin' kidding me.

  Stuart : Oh, here we go.

  Claudia : 24 hours ago, you were begging, begging me to bring some other girl to my wedding, and now, what, you're over her?

  Ted : [Meekly]  I've moved on.
