Before proposing marriage, the player needs to earn 10 hearts of [[friendship]] with their intended partner, which requires them to have first given a [[bouquet]] at 8 hearts of friendship.  They will also need to [[Carpenter's Shop#House Upgrades|upgrade]] the [[farmhouse]] at least once and have access to the [[The Beach#Tide Pools|Tide Pool]] area of [[The Beach]].
