Getting Married with Catherine Harvest Moon Seed of Memories
The Marriage system is featured in Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories.
Marriage is an important event towards the successful completion of this game since there are at least sixteen memories that depend upon the player getting married and having children.
Requirements[]
In order to marry your chosen bachelor or bachelorette, the player needs to fulfill all of the following conditions:
- Candidates must have at least 3 Musical Notes of affection towards you.
- Complete all four of the candidate's memories.
- Upgrade your initial house to a Larger House. Which is available from the Blacksmith.
- Have the Blue Feather from the Harvest Goddess.
Musical Notes[]
To get married you will need to raise your music note level with the chosen marriage candidate. You can do this by giving gifts and talking to the person once each day. Participating in festivals and winning contests will also help to raise your affection with your chosen sweetie.
You will also need to see the person's four music note events, which trigger at 1 music note, 1.5 music notes, 2.5 music notes, and lastly at 3 music notes. These events are triggered whether you are playing as a girl or as a boy star because they all unlock special memories. The person's first three events will vary in location and their last music note will trigger when he or she is visiting your farm.
Blue Feather & Propose Marriage[]
Once you upgrade your house and have at least one bachelor or bachelorette with three notes, Rowan will visit your house the next morning. The Sprite will tell you to visit the Harvest Goddess so she can give you something that will help you get married. Visit her and she will tell you that you are in a good relationship with someone and give you a Blue Feather.
After obtaining the blue feather, the player must raise their chosen candidate's affection higher and simply speak to the marriage candidate you have chosen. The player will be asked if they wish to marry him/her. If you answer "Offer", the Blue Feather will be automatically given to your candidate, now spouse, and (s)he will propose marriage.
NOTE: Make sure all their memories have been triggered (four of them) or NOTHING will happen!
Wedding[]
The wedding will take place seven days after the proposal. You will be taken to the town square automatically on your wedding day. If your wedding falls on the same day as a Festival/Event, that festival or event will NOT take place because your wedding takes up a whole day.
The day following your wedding, all villagers will be assembled by the Sprite Tree which will begin to glow and grow. Following the cut-scene, you will gain extra energy.
After Marriage[]
Once you are married, your spouse moves in with you. Their schedule will be altered to include them living in your home and hanging out around the farm. Your spouse will often simply stand around when at home, occasionally leaving to do things he/she did before marriage: Catherine and Luke will go to the bar from 18 to 2, Emily helps her mother at their Restaurant, etc.
Festivals such as Fireworks and Starry Night will change after the player is already married. Instead of inviting the person, the player's spouse will tell the player to return home between 5pm to 9pm to watch fireworks and shooting stars together, respectively.
