Did she say "yes"? That was the question on everyone's mind when we last left Ted (Josh Radnor) and Stella (Sarah Chalke), mid-proposal, at Kiddie Funland on How I Met Your Mother. And after four months of waiting, we finally get the answer in the Season 4 premiere teaser. So what is it?

*SPOILER ALERT* Don't read further if you don't want to know.

After sharing the various ways in which he thought she would say "no," Ted finally gets that three-letter word he's been yearning for: "Yes."

That answer may not be too much of a surprise for those of you up on your Mother knowledge. As TVGuide.com reported earlier, an impromptu wedding may be in the works for our newly bethrothed couple in the season's fifth episode, which finds Stella's sister ( One Tree Hill's Danneel Harris, replacing Sara Paxton) bailing out on her own wedding. And you can't let that priest go to waste, right?

But all may not end happily ever after as Stella's ex and father of her daughter, Lucy, (Jason Jones) drops by.
