Robin and Barney are getting ready for their wedding day, but they can't seem to agree on one important aspect of the reception: whether to hire a band or a DJ. Robin is adamant that a band would be the better choice, while Barney thinks a DJ would be more fun. To settle the argument, they decide to hold interviews with both bands and DJs to see which they prefer.

The first interview they have is with a band, who bring in their equipment and proceed to play a few songs for Robin and Barney. They seem to get along well with the couple, but Robin is disappointed by their lack of variety in music choices. She is frustrated that they don't seem willing to play any songs that she and her friends will want to dance to at the reception.

Next up is a DJ who is highly recommended by a friend of Barney's. He shows up with his turntables and speakers and proceeds to play some of the latest hits for Robin and Barney. The couple seems to be having a great time, but Barney is still hesitant about the idea of having a DJ at their wedding.

The decision becomes even more complicated when Robin's dad shows up unexpectedly and reveals that he used to be a backup singer in a band. He offers to play at their wedding, but Robin and Barney worry that it might be awkward and that their guests won't enjoy it.

As they continue weighing their options, Robin and Barney start to doubt whether their wedding planning is going well at all. They start to argue and bicker about other aspects of the wedding, and it seems like they might not be able to come to an agreement about anything.

Finally, they decide to do something unconventional and hold a dance-off to determine whether they should hire a band or a DJ. Robin and Barney each choose a partner and they start dancing to music played by both the band and the DJ. It becomes clear that the DJ is better at getting people to dance, but the band is able to play some classic songs that everyone knows and loves.

At the end of the day, Robin and Barney still can't agree on whether to have a band or a DJ, but they realize that it doesn't matter as long as they have fun on their wedding day. They decide to hire both the band and the DJ and have them alternate throughout the reception. As they dance together, Robin and Barney are happy that they were able to come to a compromise and have the wedding they've always wanted.

Overall, "How I Met Your Mother" season 8 episode 13 is a fun and lighthearted episode that explores the challenges that come with wedding planning. It's a great reminder that, no matter how stressful the planning process can be, what really matters is enjoying the moment with your loved ones.
