Marriage (Rune Factory 1)
From Harvest Moon | Rune Factory Wiki
There are eleven young, single women in the town whom you can choose from for a wife. The marriage requirements themselves are simple. You must:
- Have gotten the home extention from Neuman (200,000G and 2000 pieces of lumber).
- Have a kitchen and the big bed (both can be bought from Ivan).
- Have a girl up to 10 love points (LP) and 10 friendship points (FP).
That's all! But actually getting married isn't so easy. Unlike previous HM games, there is no generic Blue Feather-type item that you use to propose. The proposal requirements and way you go about proposing are different for each girl, and some are harder than others.
Giving gifts is optional. Gifts do make FP increase at a faster rate, but have little or no effect on LP (Sharron and Mei are the only exceptions). Daily talking to the girl you want to marry and doing certain things are the best way to raise love points. Some girls are easy to befriend, but others are harder to win over.
Proposal Items
To marry some girls, you merely need to talk to them. But others require an item that you can get only once in the game. So if you get the item and want to marry the girl, be sure that you don't accidently throw it out or something. That will ruin your chance of marrying the girl. The special items are:
- Lara: Lara Lazuli (a purple stone Cecilie gives to you).
- Rosetta: White Stone (Toros dungeon, snowy winter day, read the warning note)
- Sharron: Gurimoa Sword (defeat Gurimoa and give the scale to Leo)
- Mei: 70-centimetre Kimekitai (fish found in the Mist Bloom boss room).
Although certain guys like certain girls, you do not have rivals for any of the girls. The other guys won't cause you any trouble, and no other couples in the town can get married (with the exception of Noiman and Sarah, but Sarah isn't available to you).
After you marry, your wife will give you some sort of food item (a "packed lunch") when you talk to her in the morning.
Five seasons (150 days) after you marry, a child will be born. There are no pregnancy or childbirth events; when you wake up in the morning, your wife will simply be holding a baby.
