When Ted goes to see a new movie called The Wedding Bride he realizes that it is based on his relationship with Stella, who left him at the altar in "Shelter Island."

The film is a hilariously bastardized, inaccurate version of Ted's life with Stella, starring Chris Kattan as Jed Mosly, Jason Lewis as Tony and Malin Akerman as Stella.

The point of all this is that everyone has baggage, only Ted's is playing out in a romantic comedy that Stella's husband somehow wrote, and is somehow popular.

The gang debates the merits of each other's respective skeletons and Ted finally decides to make a go of it with Royce after confessing that the film is all about him.

Turns out Royce has been left at the altar three times herself ... and is considerably more messed up than Ted. Ah, dating in your 30s. It's not what it's cracked up to be.
