Before proposing marriage, you need to develop a deepening [[friendship]] with your intended partner, which eventually requires the use of special items that you must acquire. To accomplish all that, you will also find it necessary to complete two more things along the way:
 
  −
On reaching 8 hearts of friendship with a potential partner, [[Pierre]] sends the player a message in the mail to let them know about the [[bouquet]] ({{Price|200}} at [[Pierre's General Store]]) which must be given in order to progress towards 10 hearts. It is possible to gift bouquets to multiple bachelors or bachelorettes concurrently with no penalty (unless already married), and the player is not restricted by their choice of gender, as both male and female candidates are eligible. When a villager accepts the bouquet, their status in the Social tab changes to "boyfriend" or "girlfriend".

     −
To become engaged, a [[Mermaid's Pendant]] must be presented. This is sold for {{Price|5000}} by an [[Old Mariner]] who appears on rainy days at [[The Beach|the tidal pools on the beach]]. (He will not appear during [[Winter]] unless a [[Rain Totem]] is used). In order to reach him, the bridge east of [[Elliott]]'s cabin must first be repaired (300 [[wood]]), and the pendant will only be sold if the player has [[Carpenter's Shop#House Upgrades|upgraded]] the [[farmhouse]] at least once, and currently has a 10 heart friendship with an eligible villager.

The wedding ceremony will take place 3 days after proposing, immediately after waking up (''i.e.,'' if the player proposes on Mon. 1, the morning of Thu. 4 will be a marriage cutscene). When the event is over, the player and their newly wedded spouse will appear on the farmhouse porch at 6:00 a.m. The day will then proceed normally.

==Romance==
 +
Romance can only begin once you have reached 8 [[friendship|hearts]] with a potential partner (where friendship levels freeze for marriage candidates).
 +
 +
===Dating===
 +
The morning after you first reach 8 hearts with a marriage candidate, [[Pierre]] will mail you a message to let you know about the [[bouquet]] ({{Price|200}} at [[Pierre's General Store]]):
 +
 +
{{quote|It seems like you're starting to get close with some of the townspeople.

 +
 +
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).
 +
 +
===Proposing Marriage===
 +
When you reach [[friendship|best friend status]] (10 [[friendship|hearts]]) with a marriage candidate, you unlock all the remaining steps to making a marriage proposal. The next day, you will get a letter from [[Lewis|Mayor Lewis]]:

 +
 +
To become engaged, present a [[Mermaid's Pendant]] to your intended partner. You will need to buy it for {{Price|5000}} from the [[Old Mariner]]. You can find him on rainy days at [[The Beach|the tidal pools on the beach]] (across the bridge you repaired). During [[Winter]], it does not rain, so he will not appear then unless you use a [[Rain Totem]]. He will not sell the pendant unless your farmhouse has been upgraded and you are best friends with an eligible villager.
 +
 +
===The Wedding===
 +
The wedding ceremony takes place first thing 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 re-started 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.
 +
 +
The wedding ceremony does not take place on a day that another event takes place in the town square. In such cases, the wedding is delayed until there is a day without such an event.
