Lily Aldrin

The picture above is Lilypad and Marshmallow at their wedding, showing true love for one another.

           "I screamed at a little girl for painting a rainbow." Lily is a woman that tends to be annoyed from almost anything; she doesn't put up with much, except for her husband Marshall. Lily Aldrin is portrayed by Alison Hannigan on How I Met Your Mother.

            Lily was born and raised in New York and she loves that she hails from Brooklyn. She is almost the exact opposite of her husband Marshall, who is from St. Cloud, Minnesota. Marshall and Lily are extremely close and have an almost embarrassing relationship because of how cute they are. Lily calls Marshall “Marshmallow” and Marshall calls her “Lilypad“. Although Marshall and Lily were dating for more than ten years before getting married, it seems like they have an everlasting love. This is not completely true though; Lily left Marshall for a brief time while trying to achieve her dream of becoming an artist in Los Angeles. This didn't last long because Marshall and she are nearly inseparable. They were working out the kinks when Marshall proposed to her. They married, but Lily kept her last name.

            Lily's hobbies include hanging out at McLaren's Pub, and acting very immature. In between her time-consuming hobbies, Lily is a kindergarten teacher. I believe that part of her immature personality must be a result of being with her students; she is in shock when people use bad language, but will laugh for hours when someone says "booger". Her students make her feel sad at times and Lily ends up shopping in a gratuitous manner for designer clothing, which causes her to sit in a massive pile of debt.

            Lily's friends are named Barney, Robin, and Ted. Lily and Barney have never seen eye to eye because Lily wants a family while Barney wants to be single for the rest of his life. Robin became a best friend to Lily when Ted fell in love with Robin after their firswt date, but I'll get to that later. Lily and Ted have both been friends with Marshall since college. Their relationship is mostly revolved around helping him find his soul mate.
