Hey there folks. If there's one thing I like, it's comedies. The best ones last for a while because of great writing, a great cast, and solid following. HIMYM is one of these shows, starting out its seventh season this year with an interesting story... Barney, the playboy of the group, is getting married.

The end of season six introduced us to Nora, a friend and co-worker of Robin's who gives Barney a chance to prove he is boyfriend material and, surprise, he pulls it off because he is in love with her. This is when a complication develops; despite the fact that both Barney and Robin have already dated and the relationship failed, Robin falls for Barney again. So now we're left wondering, who will Barney marry at the end of the season?

There are only so many answers to this question, so with that being said, here are all possibilities for how the end of the season can turn out...

A: Barney marries Robin! This is the most obvious, and perhaps the most logical choice, if only to preserve the entire cast without adding an additional main character to the roster. Let's face it, it's a sitcom, and like all others before it, how often does a relationship with a main character and a minor character last longer than a few episodes? Besides, Robin and Barney are so much alike, it could work this time with the proper communication!

B: Barney marries Nora! The fact that Robin is in love with Barney again makes this unlikely, but at the same time, Barney appears to be in a much better, happier state with Nora than he was with Robin. They could still be in the honeymoon stage, but then again, Robin and Barney didn't last very many episodes before things turned sour. Plus, she could remain a minor character regardless of her relationship with Barney progressing.

C: Barney doesn't get married this season! This could happen as well, as it has already happened to Ted, and even Marshall and Lily had their initial wedding plans cancelled before finally getting married. Maybe Barney won't go through with marrying either of them because he's too torn up about who to marry... Or it could be the case that we just don't find out who Barney marries until next season (cliffhanger style with Nora about to say the line and Robin objecting or something).

D: Barney marries both of them! Least likely scenario, but I wrote it anyway for shits and giggles. Lord knows he'd want that threesome.

E: Barney marries someone else! This might be as likely as the threesome, but hey, it could happen, right? The season has only aired four episodes, what if things don't work out with Nora or Robin?

With that being said, what do you think? Will Barney marry Robin, Nora, or neither?

I actually hope that he marries Nora but he will probably end up with Robin. Of course I'm willing to bet we won't find out until the very end of the season.

Just saying, in Friends, Phoebe (major character) meets Mike (minor character) and they get married in season 10.

I don't really watch this show, so I can't tell you who Nora or Robin are, but I hope Barney marries that girl who was a Canadian pop star.

Wait, what? what does that have to do with anything?

Anyway, I cant say ive watched a lot of HIMYM, and I havent caught the last season... but I really hope Barney doesn't end up w Robin. I just don't like them as a permanent couple, and with Lilly and Marshall kind of being the "inside of the group" couple already lol I dont want them to be all matchy matchy.
Altho itd b cool if they divorced like 3 episodes in lol. Itd be hilarious.

Because one of my arguments that Robin marrying Barney is more likely than Nora was because Nora's a minor character and Robin's a main, but his example (Phoebe + Mike in Friends) contradicts that logic. Though now that we're on the subject, Mike was introduced in season 9, and the show ended at season 10, the same one in which they got married. Ted did mention he met his wife at a friend's wedding... I don't know, would they end the show after 7 seasons?

Nope. The whole point of the show is that the episodes are leading up to when Ted finally meets his children's mother. The episode it will happen in will be the last show of the series.
