NPC Marriage Requirements
Get 10 friendship hearts with a marriage candidate. Most villagers only have 8 hearts, but all of the marriage candidates have 10. Once you get a marriage candidate to 8 hearts and give them a bouquet, you will be able to unlock the ability to get the final two hearts. You can raise your heart level with a marriage candidate by giving them gifts that they like or love, especially on their birthday. The bouquet can be purchased from Pierre's Store for 200 gold once you have a marriage candidate at 8 hearts.
Buy a Mermaid's Pendant. You can buy a Mermaid's Pendant from the Old Mariner for 5,000 gold. The Old Mariner will be by the tidal pools on the beach on rainy days, and he won't appear in Winter unless you use a Rain Totem. You must repair the beach bridge for 300 wood, or purchase the second community upgrade from Robin. The Old Mariner won't sell the pendant if your farmhouse isn't upgraded at least once. You also must be at 10 hearts with an eligible villager and you can't already be married.
Getting Married to NPCS
Give the Mermaid's Pendant to your partner. If you've met all the requirements to get married, your partner will accept the pendant as a marriage proposal. Once you give your partner the pendant, the wedding will be scheduled three days after you propose. If you want your wedding to be on a particular day, make sure to give your partner the pendant three days before. For example, if you want your wedding to be on Summer 4, you must give the pendant on Summer 1. The date of the wedding will be marked on the calendar with a Mermaid's Pendant icon. If your wedding falls on the same date as an event, it will be postponed to the next day without an event.
Progress the game to your wedding day. On your wedding day, you will enter the wedding cutscene when you wake up. Once the wedding ceremony cutscene has completed, you and your spouse will be on the front porch of the farmhouse at 6 a.m. No matter what the weather channel on the TV says, the day of your wedding will always be sunny.
Post-Marriage Gameplay
After getting married, some aspects of gameplay change slightly. Note that gameplay only changes if you marry an NPC. If you marry another player character, you won't get these benefits. These gameplay aspects are listed below: You can get more friendship hearts with your spouse. You can increase your spouse's friendship to 14 hearts, but every day you do not interact with your spouse you'll lose 20 friendship points. Your spouse will water all crops on the farm (in Spring, Summer, or Fall), feed all animals, water the dog or cat bowl, repair broken fences, and give gifts (including breakfast and dinner food dishes). Once you reach 12.5 hearts with your spouse, they will give you a Stardrop. If you marry another player in multiplayer, the Stardrop will show up in a purple present box next to each player's bed the next morning. Your spouse will set up a personal room in the Farmhouse and a small outdoor area behind the Farmhouse. How these areas are decorated depends on which character you marry. Kissing your spouse will remove exhaustion from your energy bar. The first kiss of the day is the only one that can remove exhaustion. If there are objects in the way of your spouse's path, objects blocking the kitchen, or no bed before evening, your spouse will be annoyed and comment on it. They will also temporarily refuse to kiss you if this happens. If you've given a bouquet to another villager who is the same gender as your spouse and you give that villager a gift they don't hate, your spouse has a chance to get jealous. The jealousy chance depends on your daily luck. If your spouse gets jealous of you giving a gift, you will lose 30 friendship points and your spouse will be angry when you speak to them next. Note that birthday gifts are fine to give and will not cause your spouse to get jealous.
Multiplayer Marriage
Player characters can get married to one another in multiplayer. If you want to marry another player character, you must buy the Wedding Ring recipe from the Traveling Cart in Cindersap Forest for 500 gold. The Wedding Ring takes 5 Iridium Bars and 1 Prismatic Shard. After making the ring, you can give it to the other player character at any time. If the other player character accepts, a wedding will occur in three days. NPC marriages occur the same way in single player or multiplayer; the Wedding Ring can only be used on other player characters.
