wait for it
in the third season premiere, "wait for it", ted's children already know the "short version" of the story of how he met their mother, and that it was an incident involving her yellow umbrella. some clues given are that ted's future wife is a college student studying economics, as she was in the classroom on ted's first day as a professor, where he initially went to the wrong room and started teaching architecture 101 to what, actually, was economics 305. it was also mentioned that she was at the same nightclub as ted and barney on st. patrick's day, 2008. in the first season episode "belly full of turkey", future ted jokes to his kids that a stripper he meets named tracy is the mother (the mother's first name also turned out to be tracy in the finale). future ted told his kids that he met their mother "on the day of the wedding" which is later revealed to be the day of barney and robin's wedding, in which ted is the best man. in the season premiere of the 8th season, ted is reading a book while waiting at the "farhampton" train station after barney and robin's wedding when "the mother" (indicated by future ted's voiceover and the appearance of the signature yellow umbrella) is shown arriving at the same station via taxi cab, though whether or not they meet at that time is unconfirmed as the episode fades to credits with the two unaware of each other. in the season 8 episode entitled "band or dj?" future ted reveals in a flashback that "the mother" played bass guitar in the wedding band that performed at barney and robin's wedding. although the flashback shows that ted does see the mother at the wedding, it is implied that they do not actually formally meet at the wedding. ted and his wife are shown in a flashfoward standing outside a movie theater advertising "the wedding bride iii" during the episode "no pressure", although the wife's face is not shown nor is her identity revealed.

later, in "girls versus suits", ted dates cindy, not knowing that her roommate is his future wife. throughout the episode, ted notes that cindy had spent most of their first date talking jealously about her roommate. when in cindy and the mother's apartment he picks up many of the mother's belongings, attempting to show how compatible he and cindy are (thinking the items are cindy's) and glimpses the mother's foot as she disappears into her room after taking a shower. ted finds out at this time that she plays bass guitar in a band. ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella with him when he goes out and future ted mentions, "this is how your mother got her yellow umbrella back." in "how your mother met me", it is revealed that, after ted left the apartment, the mother had discovered the umbrella and, upon going to question cindy, finds her crying. as the mother tried to console her, cindy kissed her, revealing that her jealousy towards her roommate was actually a crush. while this incident made cindy realise that she is a lesbian, it also made the mother decide to go back into dating, as the kiss was her first in a long time.
