Did you save the date? Come September, one of the most anticipated and grandest wedding weekends of all time. Barney and Robin will finally be tying the knot, we presume, as "How I Met Your Mother" enters its ninth and final season. As the days tick closer and closer to the wedding of the century, fans prepare themselves for the onslaught of laughs, tears and everything in between. The entire season will take place over the course of the wedding weekend, which will be chock full of flashbacks, as each character meets the Mother one by one. But while the intriguing love triangle between Barney, Robin and the ever desperate Ted remains at the center of the season 9 crosshairs, let's not forget about the other riveting characters that make the show so wonderful.
Another "How I Met Your Mother' power couple, Lily and Marshall, also have plenty on their plates. As the season unfolds, fans are desperate to see Marshall finally tell Lily about his recent judgeship. According to TV Guide, "Marshall's secret will be part of the 'dirty laundry' that executive producer Carter Bays promises will 'come exploding out' during the wedding weekend like last year's meatball sub. But naturally, it won't be Marshall who spills the beans."
But of course. Why would Marshall tell the love of his life about his new position himself? That just wouldn't be "How I Met Your Mother" style. And fans will get plenty more of Marshall right of the bat. As previously reported, the premiere episode is titled "The Locket" and will introduce a potentially new female character with ties to Marshall. Camille, somewhere between her 30s and 40s, is seated next to Marshall on a flight from Minnesota to New York City, where she becomes so annoyed with his behavior that it sparks a feud and, unsurprisingly, they're both escorted off the plane prior to takeoff. This should be good.
"How I Met Your Mother" will return to CBS September 23.
