The day before their wedding, Ted and Stella make the trip to Shelter Island. The others start out soon after. Barney, Lily and Marshall arrive at the resort after a raucous game of Zitch Dog. The Namaste Yoga and Mediation Collective is not where Lily imagined Ted getting married. Marshall says, "I don't know about you guys, but Nama-stay here any longer than I have to." Heh. Barney high-fives him, as well he should. Lily tells Marshall to go check in with the dirty hippie while she and Barney get drinks. Barney asks the bartender what Scotches he has. "Oh, here at the center, we have a very strict no-alcohol policy." A chord of horror-flick music plays as Lily and Barney recoil in... well, in horror. Meanwhile, Marshall double-checks with the dirty hippie (who doesn't look at all dirty, but wait 'til later) that all meals are included. She says, "Yep, and they're 100% vegan." The music repeats as Marshall recoils in horror. Not that he'd eat a burger there, anyhow. Barney frets that he needs alcohol to snag Robin. He reads the drink menu. "Look at this: Berry Blaster Brain Revitalizer -- my God, some of these drinks could actually make a girl smarter! What kind of Hell has Ted brought us to?" Marshall joins them at the table, and notifies them there's no meat. Lily trumps him with the announcement that there's no alcohol. Marshall looks over to the bar in shock. "It gets worse. I'm 90% sure that guy you were talking with used to be lead singer with The Spin Doctors." All three recoil in horror, and the chord sounds a third time. That's it, wedding's over people. Leave your bags; just run for your lives.
