In this episode Ted tries to track down a girl he me at a wedding all he knows about her is her first name, Victoria, as they had decided never to see each other again after the wedding. Meanwhile Marshall tries to find out where the wedding cake came from so he can get some more. The two mysteries end up linking together when it is revealed that Victoria was the one who made the cake.
I have to say that I loved the part near the beginning of this episode when Marshall is complaining that Ted should have found out Victoria's last name he makes his point using the wedding cake as a metaphor he describes it as the best cake of his life. Ted makes a Joke saying "that cake really got to you huh" Marshall replies "it haunts me" then they both laugh. I couldn't help but smile at how natural there laugh was This moment to me just symbolized the amazing chemistry that the actors share I watch it and I can believe they could be real people going through real problems together I love this show by far one of my all time favourites.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When Ted and others are in the bar and they are about to go to find Victoria Ted is wearing jacket and nice shirt but when they are sitting in the cab Ted is wearing old sweatshirt and t-shirt and Barney and Marshall are wearing the same clothes as in the bar. Edit
- Goof: There are continuity errors at the start of this episode, which picks up right where the previous one, The Wedding, left off. (Indeed, the shots of Victoria are exactly the same.) In particular, at the moment Ted spots Victoria, he and Barney were watching Lily and Marshall dance, however in this version, Lily and Marshall are seated behind Ted. Additionally, the second time around, Barney is chatting up Tanya, after originally doing "Bridesmaid Math", deciding which two he would take, and which one he would give to Ted. Edit
- In this episode Barney picks up a girl at the wedding claiming that he is joining the Peace Corps the next day. 2 Episodes later (1.15 - Game Night) we find out that he actually planned on joining the Peace Corps with his girlfriend Shannon when he was an adolescent. Edit

- Music Featured In This Episode: 1. "You Don't Know Me" by Michael Bublé (featured on the album, It's Time) is the song Ted and Victoria dance to when the reception is over and they say their goodbyes (or actually don't). Apparently the song was on a CD or tape used during the reception since Ted only has to press a button for the song to play. 2. "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin & George Gershwin. Ted plays this on the Piano, while Victoria is stepdancing. 3. "Spit on a Stranger" by Pavement. This song was played during the last scene of the show. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Ted: Listen I'm calling because last night I met this girl, and I was wondering if you had-- Claudia: Oh you have got to be freaking kidding me! Stuart: Oh here we go... Claudia: Twenty-four hours ago you were begging--begging--me to bring some other girl to my wedding and now, wa-what, you're over her? Ted: I've moved on? Edit
- Victoria: Those big romantic moments... they're great when they happen, but they're not real. Ted: Exactly. Exactly! Like, like just now, when I saw you doing the chicken dance out there--I'm not gonna lie to you--big time thunderbolt. Victoria: Hmmm, you should see me tap-dance. You'd be down on bended knee. Ted: Sadly, not out of character. Edit
- Marshall: Maybe she was a ghost. That's why she didn't want to kiss you because you'd pass right through her and get really cold for a second. Oh my God, I just had a great idea for a screenplay. Ted: Marshall, she was not a ghost. Marshall: I know she wasn't a ghost. She picked up a bouquet proving she had corporeal form. Edit
