Love stories may be a timeworn trope, but Ted Mosby’s meandering nine-season narrative in How I Met Your Mother had audiences seated without complaints, hanging on every twist and turn. While it was a wild goose chase for Ted, life imitated art most romantically for Josh Radnor. When wedding bells chimed, the poetic symmetry of reel and reality had fans believing in destiny all over again. And as Radnor commemorated his first anniversary with a heartfelt photo tribute, fans could not help but pine for another epic chapter—one that would chronicle the mother of all love stories, his own. 

Josh Radnor swept fans off their feet on Monday, sharing a double dose of nostalgia-tinged carousels on Instagram from his winter wonderland wedding to Jordana Jacobs. In the first post, Radnor spun a charming yarn about the blizzard that blissfully hijacked their big day. Initially, the couple envisioned an intimate, fireside fete with hot chocolates and hot toddies to thaw the chill. But fate, it seemed, had other plans, since a forecast of “light flurries” proved a gross understatement.

As the blizzard bore down, Josh Radnor and Jordana Jacobs chose to surrender to serendipity, embracing the whimsy of the winter storm to seal their love under the mistletoe. “It was surreal and unforgettable,” the actor wrote, thanking his wedding guests for braving the freezing temperatures. Radnor confessed that marriage was once a dubious prospect for him, a sentiment his on-screen alter ego could certainly relate to.

Yet, in hindsight, Josh Radnor believes proposing to Jordana Jacobs was the plot twist he never knew he needed. And it is safe to say that fans are left yearning for at least one season if not nine of How Josh Radnor Met Jordana Jacobs.

Amidst the sitcom landscape, Ted Mosby has sparked endless deliberations, but the verdict is clear for How I Met Your Mother fans: he is the dad of all leads. Fans were already over the moon when Ted’s destiny intervened in Josh Radnor’s reality with a fairy-tale wedding last year. And with the actor now slipping into Ted’s character, fans even feel Jordana Jacob “looks like TRACY.”

Meanwhile, fans are pleading with Radnor for more insights as the carousels flood with urges, “tell us how you met her!!” On the flip side, as netizens were going through the pictures of the lovebirds, one suggested: “that umbrella should be yellow.” One fan voiced the collective delight of How I Met Your Mother lovers, expressing joy over Ted’s “happy ending.” But another fan’s query perfectly captured the sentiment of the crowd, “Could we get 9 seasons of how you met?”
