I watched it until the first commercial, and saw what you were saying. I don't think I like it.

Oh, nice hint "I only went to one party, St. Patrick's Day and I left early"
That two-minute date might be the cutest thing I've ever seen.
yes, it was adorable. And the taxi driver was awesome (although no taxi in NY could get around the block in less than two minutes :) )
That guy can do anything.

Seriously!!

I really, really love the idea that Stella could be Your Mother, but I can't see how the writers can make it work with everything else they've already laid out--especially the two kids listening to the story. There's no way the girl is nine years older than the boy (which she'd have to be, if Stella's daughter is presently 8), there's been no mention of an older sister in any of the framing device bits, and the handful of kid art pictures we've seen (going to the zoo with Aunt Robin, etc.) have shown only two kids. Plus, Stella wasn't the random woman Ted bumped into and apologized to at the party, and if that woman wasn't YM, why did they bother throwing that little exchange in at all?
The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of Stella as YM, but the more I doubt the writers have enough handwavium, flabotonum and asspullium to make it all work.
Sad now.
Of course, maybe there's no daughter...

yes. So, it could have been a red herring (the woman who bumped into Ted at the bar was brunette). OTOH, the daughter may be grown up now. The kids look to be in their early teens, and if Stella's daughter was 8 when they met, she'd be 9 or 10 when they married, and out of the house by the time he's telling this story.
I don't know, it's just fun to speculate. Now we're looking for clues!
I love hte idea of her being the Mom. But! She was out with her girlfriends right? So maybe one of her friends is the Mom. Although I love the actress she was so great.
Britney wasn't terrible. Not great but heck I've seen worse acting by regulars in sitcoms. Maybe this will get her some positive press and give her an esteem boost. I read one article online that said she did okay.
