Casting.
Series creator Craig Thomas explained that he based Marshall and Lily on himself and his wife Rebecca. Rebecca had been upset after learning this, but (as she is a fan of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer)" was consoled when Alyson Hannigan was put in the role. Hannigan was looking to do more comedy work after having worked on the "American Pie" series and was available for the show.
