A/N: I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO LONG! My computer broke. :/ But anyway, this wasn't what I originally planned to be the ending, but someone in a review suggested something like this, and it actually sounded better than what I had in mind, so here we go.

They never thought they would see the day. Lily never thought that she would be putting the finishing touches on Robin's make up, Ted never thought that he would be helping Barney make his final tie decision, and Marshall never thought that he would be crying happy tears in a bathroom stall, waiting for the moment that two of his best friends promised to love each other forever.

"You nailed it." Ted reassured Barney, knowing that the tie really didn't matter, and the tie was of course a metaphor of Robin. He couldn't deny that Barney and Robin were perfect for each other. None of them could, and as much he wanted it, he and Robin, they just didn't make sense as anything more than friends.

"The bride needs to see you." Lily said, popping her head in. "Don't you dare say anything that will put her make up in danger, though, I don't have time to fix it."

The day hadn't exactly gone off smoothly, what with the mistake at the bakery and the flower mix up, Ted, being both the best man and the maid of honor (he begged Robin to stop calling him that) had been the number one go to person when it came to damage control.

"Ted." She said as he entered the bride's room. "Ted, I'm freaking out."

"Robin, you love Barney, okay. He loves you, and you're going to walk down the aisle and-"

"No, shut up. That's not why I'm freaking out."

"Then what is it?"

"As my maid of honor-"

"I've asked you to not call me that"

"You have to make me a promise." She sighed. "You know how I was like… you know when the whole Cassidy thing was going on?"

Ted cringed, remember the paralyzing fear one feels when they see their best friend after and attempt at suicide. To say that that memory haunts him would be an understatement, he would never tell this to her of course. He knew that place she was in, and so did she, in a way, he kind of blamed himself. "I remember." He said quietly.

"If I ever get back to that place-"

"You won't." He assured her. "That place you were in was dark and scary, and it wasn't you. You won't go back there."

"But if I do, you have to get my out of there, okay?"

He nodded. He though that he already proved that he was willing to do that, but he could see what she really needed was reassurance.

Barney was good and holding his emotions in and pretending like thing weren't a big deal. He was good at pretending like he didn't love, or fear, or hurt, but the truth was that there was nothing stopping him from letting out a tear when he saw Robin in her wedding dress for the first time. He felt like such a Ted, but damn, she was so beautiful. Not that she needed a white dress and pink roses to make her beautiful, if she walked down that aisle with a naked face and sweat pants, he would still not be able to hold back his lame, Ted-like tear.

"You look awesome." He whispered in her ear, when she finally reached him.

"You sure Barney Stinson is ready to be tied down?" She responded playfully.

There were a million things he could say to her in this moment. That he had never been more sure of anything in his life seemed kind of cliché. Kissing her like his mother wasn't watching would have been kind of tacky, so instead he just smiled at her and said "If you jump I will jump too." Only this time, there weren't on a roof, and this time he knew that she going to take that extra step.

And if you take that last step I'll follow you

Leave the edge and fly

We're finally alive.

A/N: I know that this story got a little OOC, but that's okay, that's why it's called a fanfiction. Anyway, thank you for all of your reviews, even if you hated the story, *shrug* I liked writing it, and thank you for reading! Also, I know I'm really cheesy, but I'm not sorry, I like cheesy stories a lot. (Also, I just reread the whole thing, and I really decided that I don't even like it, but that's okay, I'll leave it up anyway)
