Giving the bouquet unfreezes the friendship level with that individual bachelor or bachelorette, allowing friendship to advance. Upon accepting the bouquet, the Social tab status also changes to "boyfriend" or "girlfriend", the official start to dating. The bouquet can be given repeatedly (even multiple times in one day) to any candidate, to increase friendship level. It can also be given to multiple candidates, without regard to gender. There is no friendship penalty for giving bouquets to dating rivals as long as you have not already married someone (or proposed marriage) and as long as you don't give bouquets to all of them. You may have a nasty surprise if you date all Bachelorettes of all Bachelors at once.

The wedding ceremony takes place in the morning, 3 days after you propose. That is, if you propose on Monday the 1st, the marriage cutscene will take place as soon as you wake up on Thursday the 4th. When the ceremony is completed, you and your spouse appear at the farmhouse at 6:00 A.M. (on the porch, or if you have restarted or reloaded the game day, inside the house). The day then proceeds as it normally does when you are married. Friendship with your spouse can now rise to the (hidden) level of 13 hearts, but decays by 20 points per day whenever there is no contact between you two.

===Jealousy===

If you give a gift to one of the other marriage candidates when you are already married, there is a chance that your spouse will become jealous. This only happens if the villager receiving the gift is the same sex as your spouse - ''i.e.'', if you married a bachelor, it only happens if you give a gift to another bachelor. It doesn't matter if the gift is liked or not, the only gift that is safe to give is a birthday gift. The chance that your spouse becomes jealous is between 20 and 40%, depending on daily luck. If your spouse becomes jealous, you get a 30 friendship point penalty, and the next time you speak to your spouse they will give an angry message mentioning your gift.<ref>See NPC::tryToReceiveActiveObject() in the game code</ref>

Players can visit the [[Witch's Hut]] in late game where they'll find a shrine which can erase their ex-spouse's memory. This costs {{price|30000}}, and after being done, the ex will have no memory of the previous marriage, allowing players to even date and remarry them if they choose. Using a memory wipe will make it appear as though the marriage never happened.
