Sun Haven Marriage: A Complete Heart-to-Heart Guide
So, you’ve set your sights on tying the knot in Sun Haven! Congratulations! The question burning in your mind is likely: How many hearts do you need to marry someone in Sun Haven?
The magic number is 15 hearts. Once you’ve showered your beloved with enough gifts, attention, and perhaps a romantic date or two, and filled those three rows of hearts, you’ll unlock the option to pop the question. But reaching 15 hearts is just the beginning. Let’s delve into the nitty-gritty of romance and marriage in Sun Haven.
From Friendship to “I Do”: The Path to Marriage
First, it’s important to understand the stages of relationship progression in Sun Haven. It’s not just about accumulating hearts; it’s about building a meaningful connection (even if it’s pixelated!).
Building Initial Friendship (Up to 10 Hearts)
You start with a blank slate. Talk to your chosen NPC daily, and shower them with gifts they love. Each NPC has specific preferences, so experimenting or consulting a guide is highly recommended. Giving two gifts per day will significantly speed up the heart-earning process. Regular dialogue also helps, as it reinforces your connection.
The Love Letter: Sealing the Deal (10-15 Hearts)
Once you reach 10 hearts, things get a little more serious. You’ll need to give your beloved a Love Letter. This item can be purchased from the Town Hall. Gifting a Love Letter unlocks the next five hearts for that character, allowing you to officially start dating them. Dialogue will change to reflect the new relationship between the Player and NPC.
Popping the Question (Reaching 15 Hearts)
With all 15 hearts unlocked, the final step is marriage. Head back to the Town Hall and speak to Bernard. For 100 Community Tokens, you can purchase the Engagement Ring. Present this ring to your partner as you would any other gift. If they accept, your wedding will be scheduled for the following day at 4 PM.
Wedding Day Preparations
There’s not much you need to do to prepare, really. Just show up at the designated time and enjoy the ceremony! Your new spouse won’t move into your house; they’ll remain in their own abode. However, you’ll now have the privilege of visiting them at any time of day, even before 8 AM or after 8 PM. You can even sleep in their bed!
Romance Tips and Tricks
- Know Your Gifts: Each NPC has unique likes and dislikes. Utilizing these preferences will maximize your heart gain.
