Hopeless romantic

Watching season one of How I Met Your Mother on DVD and love the concept in the episode where Ted meets and falls for a strange woman at a wedding and they decide to make that night the most memorable of their lives:

Ted approaches the pretty woman (Victoria), who warns him that she never hooks up with people at weddings because all of the romance of the wedding isn't real. Ted wins her over with some flirting, so she suggests a compromise: they will spend the rest of the wedding together and then never see each other again. […] They agree to tell each other only their first names and not to exchange any contact information. Lily and Marshall interrupt the story to tell Ted what a stupid idea that is, but Ted defends his decision, saying that they had a great time and because he will never see Victoria again the memory won't be ruined.

How romantic is that. 

Of course after much drama they reconnect at the end of the episode, which I consider a letdown.
