"How I Met Your Mother" season finale gives fans some answers

The gang rallies around Lily (Alyson Hannigan) to look at her newborn on "How I Met Your Mother."

/ CBS

(CBS News) After teasing Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) wedding for almost two years, "How I Met Your Mother" finally revealed the identity of his bride in last night's season finale.

SPOILER ALERT

In classic "How I Met Your Mother" fashion, there were some twists and turns on the way to the big reveal.

Barney heads on vacation with girlfriend Quinn (Becki Newton), but runs into trouble with TSA over his magic trick box. He is forced to perform the trick and it ends in a proposal to Quinn, who of course accepts. When the couple announces their big news to the gang, Barney jokes with Robin (Cobie Smulders), "Last chance to run away together."

Then, flash-forward to Barney's wedding and it isn't Quinn standing at the altar; instead, it's Robin.

Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) welcome their first child, whom they name Marvin Eriksen. While at the hospital, Robin and Ted rekindle their friendship and decide that he needs to reach out to his ex, Victoria (Ashley Williams), from the first season, who re-appeared  earlier this season.

Later, Victoria, wearing a wedding dress, suggests that she and Ted run off together. But, Ted who had been left at the altar before, suggests driving her back to the church. In the end, he changes his mind and the two drive off into the sunset.

Tell us: What did you think of the "HIMYM" season finale?

The wedding hasn't happened yet....AND Robin didn't look too thrilled at the end of the season finale. Remember, Robin tends to want what she doesn't have. She really didn't want Barney or marriage until he became engaged to Quinn...

I noticed that before they would ever show barney and ted in the grooms room, the chapel would have guests walking into chapel and its sunny outside. Before the last part of the latest episode the church had no guests walking in and it was darker and raining then showed Ted talking to Marshall and then Ted walking to see the "bride" Robin. Maybe just a twist then that maybe Barney is marrying Quinn and in the same church but on a rainy day the wedding that went "Horribly wrong" as announced is Robin maybe marrying Ted but he meets his wife at that wedding?? I dont know, but they are notorious for throwing twists in. We will see

Wonderful season finale! Loved every minute! Absolute favorite moment was the flashback to Marshall in college with the staple gun and Ted's thought of "Oh my God, that guy's a dad!" Personally, I would LOVE it if the story somehow works out where Victoria is The Mother!! I think I love her character the most!!! Thanks for giving us the news that Quinn will soon be gone!! Glad to see her go!!!

When I saw Robin's face at the end, my fiance couldn't stop me from shrieking "I KNEW IT" over and over. Then I immediately burst into tears. Quite emotional, I know, but I am crazy about this show.

With so many ups and downs this season, I can continue to say that HIMYM is my favorite show on tv.

Buh buh buuh buuuh buh buh buhhh buh buh ba buh badadadadadadada dahh
