25 years earlier, in 2005, the younger Ted (Josh Radnor) goes on a date with reporter Robin (Cobie Smulders) but blurts out to her that he loves her after just one date, leading to her breaking off the relationship.
After Ted hosts three parties for Robin, Robin joins Ted's group of friends, which includes the deadpan womanizer Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), law student Marshall (Jason Segel), and Marshall's fiancée, Lily, a kindergarten teacher (Alyson Hannigan).
In a twist at the end of the pilot episode, we learn that the "mother" of the title is not Robin. Instead, she is referred to as "Aunt Robin," and the identity of Ted's future wife has not yet been revealed. (Some viewers had initially assumed that the "Aunt Robin" reference meant that the as-yet-unknown "mother" must be a sibling of Robin's, but other instances have future Ted referring to his other friends as "your Aunt" or "your Uncle", meaning it's used in the fictive sense.) Many subsequent episodes have employed similar twist endings, where prior scenes are put into surprising contexts. For instance, in the second season's "Ted Mosby: Architect," Robin discovers that Ted is on a wild night on the town, possibly culminating in a one-night stand. Only at the episode's end is it revealed that it was not Ted — but Barney using Ted's identity — engaging in these pursuits.
In the third episode of season two, Ted has dinner with his parents, and they eventually tell him the story of how they "met in a bar" (that was the entire story). Ted becomes upset at this, saying it is pathetic and that when he tells his kids about "how [he] met their mother" that he will tell them the entire story, in detail.
