The beginning of season nine hasn't, in my opinion, been very great. The story has been slow and the jokes haven't been that funny. But this episode is easily one of the ten best episodes of the entire series. The plot is great and the Indiana Jones-reference is spot on. The way Robin and Barney lie to the minister about how they met, using Marhalls and Lilys very romantic story, is just hilarious. Ted is as always insecure about how he should act and ends up making really bad decisions all night. But since this leads to him meeting the mother at Farhampton it is totally worth it. The only thing that wasn't funny was how the girl Ted ended up with in this episode faked her crying and wasn't convincing at all.
Also the wedding at Barney's scene was just awesome.
9/10
