Marriage to villagers can happen after you have reached best friend status (10 hearts) with the desired character. Marriage can happen to either gender.

To initiate a romantic relationship with a villager, you must first give them a special bouquet you can buy at Pierre's store. The bouquet is only sold once you reach 8 hearts with a villager. To become engaged, you must give the desired character a Mermaid's Pendant. The Mermaid's Pendant (5000g) can only be acquired by the Old Mariner on the beach after you've repaired the bridge (300 wood), upgraded your house at least once, and only on rainy and stormy days. You cannot obtain the pendant in the Winter since it does not rain. The wedding will take place 3 days after you propose and be handled by the person you are marrying. After the Marriage Ceremony is complete, your new partner will move into your farm.

Married Life

Once a villager has been married, they will move into your house and sleep in your bed. Your spouse will have a maximum of 12 hearts instead of 10, and keeping them happy is important to get them to help around the farm. A happy spouse will wake up before you every morning, to do one chore somewhere around the farm. Possible chores include making breakfast, feeding animals, repairing fences and watering crops. Talking to them in the morning will let you find out what they did. Interacting with your spouse when no dialogue is available will result in an embrace.

You would also be able to have children under certain circumstances.

Spouse Chores

Taking care of a farm task for you:

  • Watering all crops on your farm (only in spring, summer, and fall).
  • Feeding all animals.
  • Watering your dog's/cat's bowl.
  • Repairing broken fences.

Cooking breakfast will add one random breakfast food to your inventory. If your inventory is full, you will not receive a breakfast item.

Examples include:

Examples include:

Giving a stardrop as a symbol of love

  • Get your spouse to 13/12 hearts and speak to them in your home. They will comment about life on the farm and how they are enjoying it, then give you the stardrop fruit as thanks.
