Marriage Requirements

You'll meet Toby at the beginning of the game. Hamilton will ask you to meet all of the villagers in town, and Toby can be met at the Flute Fields Watermill. After meeting him, you can start to court Toby. You will need to build Toby's heart points by giving him gifts, and watching events. To marry in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, a bachelor/bachelorette must be at 9 hearts. Additionally, you must have a level 2 house or bigger, watch all of their events, and use the blue feather to propose.

Heart Events

For each bachelor or bachelorette in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, there are a set of events that occur at different heart levels. You must witness them all in order to marry. Events occur at: 2 hearts, 4 hearts, 5 hearts, and 7 hearts. At 9 hearts, you can propose, and you will witness an event where the two of you get engaged. There is also an event for your wedding. You can check heart levels by going into the menu of your game at any time.

Gift (2 Heart Event)

Your first gift from Toby comes at 2 hearts. This event will automatically occur, as you walk out of your home. Toby will meet you in the morning, and asks if you want a gift that he's brought by.

"Toby - 2 Heart Event"

Toby caught a fish when he was out fishing, and wanted to give it to you. He'll ask if you want his present. If you accept, Toby will be very happy, and you will receive a Huchen. If you turn down his gift, Toby will be upset, and you will lose heart points with him.

Gift (4 Heart Event)

Like with the 2 heart event, the 4 heart event is another gift event. Toby will come to your house offering another gift.

"Toby - 4 Heart"

Toby will meet you at your home at the start of the day, as you walk outside. This event automatically occurs. Toby's second gift is Eel Rice, a fish dish that he's made. He's brought it by, hoping that you could use it as a pick-me-up from working hard! He will ask if you want to take the gift, and you can either accept or decline. Owen will give you the Eel Ricce is you accept.

If you accept his gift, Toby will be very happy. If you decline his present, Toby will be upset and you will lose heart points with him.

Date (5 Heart Event)

When Toby has a heart level of 5 or more hearts, you can ask him to go on a date with you. You must be the one to ask to go for the date, as the bachelor/bachelorette will not come to your house looking for you.

"Toby - 5 Heart Date"

{C}After getting Toby to 5 hearts, find him and talk to him before noon. Instead of regular dialogue, a scene will play if Toby wants to go on a date with you. Toby asks if you're free for some fishing later on today, the weather sure is nice! If you accept, Toby will ask you to meet him at the Flute Fields Watermill at 16:00 (4PM). If you decline his request, you will lose heart points with Toby.

Meet Toby at the Watermill at 16:00, and don't be late! When Toby arrives, the two of you will go fishing. Toby comments that fishing is especially fun with another person, and he asks if you fish often. If you tell him that you do, he'll be happy that you share the same interest. The two of you will talk through to the evening, and when the date is over he will thank you and go home. Standing Toby up for the date will result in losing heart points.

Confession (7 Heart Event)

When you have worked up Toby's heart points to 7 hearts, you can trigger another event. Find Toby and talk to him before noon. He will ask you to meet him at the Lighthouse at 16:00 (4PM). He has something important that he wants to talk to you about, so don't be late!

"Toby - 7 Heart Love Confession"

Walk to the Lighthouse around 16:00, and Toby will meet you there. Toby will tell you that he really likes you. Although he doesn't know when these feelings started, he now knows that you're always on his mind, and would like to date you.

If you wish to continue courting Toby, the top four responses are all appropriate answers that you can give him. Any of the positive answers will result in Toby being very happy that you return his feelings! He will offer to walk you home, and the event will end.

Not showing up to meet Toby or giving him a negative response will result in losing heart points. If you don't show up to meet Toby, he will be very sad the next time you talk to him, and will remind you that you forgot something important. It will take a little while to regain lost hearts.

Proposal (9 Heart Event)

After you've worked up Toby's hearts to 9, you can finally propose to him. If you have a Blue Feather, showing it to him will result in a proposal event. Make sure that you have watched all of Toby's events, and that he is at 9 hearts before proposing. Showing him the feather before meeting these requirements may result in Toby not accepting your feather.

"Toby - 9 Heart Proposal"

Toby asks you to marry him.

Find Toby during the day, and show him your Blue Feather. If he wants to accept it, a cut scene will play where he will ask to talk to you somewhere that's a little more private. You will be automatically transferred to the Church Grounds, where Toby will begin confessing his love for you. Toby's wanted to propose for a long time, but you're always one step ahead! He loves you, and can imagine spending the rest of his life with you. Toby will ask you to marry him. You will be prompted to give an answer to Toby's confession, and they are all positive. Afterwards, the engagement is official!

After the cut scene plays, you will go to City Hall where Hamilton will arrange a wedding day for you at Celesta Church. The date he arrange it for is random, and can be as early as the next day, or later on in the week.

Wedding

After you've proposed, Hamilton will set the day of your wedding for you. It will take place at Celesta Church. On the day of your wedding, you will wake up in the morning and will be transported automatically to the Church for your wedding. There are no tasks to be done on your wedding day other then getting married. You will meet your fiancee here, along with the guests attending your wedding. At wedding ceremonies, the bride's/groom's family will always appear. Hamilton will appear in every wedding cut scene, and Perry will always be there to make the wedding official.

"Toby - Marriage"

Toby's wedding.

When Perry asks if you promise, answering with "no" will only result in Perry asking again. You will be forced to answer with "yes," and once you do, the marriage will be official! Hamilton will present you with a Honeymoon Ticket that you can use after your wedding ceremony. This will always happen, except for with the special marriage candidates (Witch, Wizard, Harvest King, Harvest Goddess). Simon will always take a photo of you which can be showcased in your home.

After the ceremony you will be automatically transported to your home. At home, your spouse will now live with you permanenatly. There is nothing to do after the wedding, and you will automatically be brought to a new day. Your wedding ring is now available as an accessory through your dresser, and it is your choice to wear it or not.

Married Life

Your spouse will make you a lunch every morning. Depending on how many hearts they have, the quality of the lunch will change. Your spouse can also help you with chores around your farm, which include fishing, mining, watering, harvesting, picking weeds, milking, brushing, and egg/silk collecting. Your spouse's personality depends on what chores they'll be better at. You must select a chore to do in between 6 and 7AM, or else your spouse will go out on their own during the day. You can take your spouse for a walk. This is a way to spend time with your spouse, and their heart points will increase from it. Your spouse's birthday is also a date you'll need to remember, as you can celebrate their birthday by giving them a gift during the day, or entering your house after 6PM. Your spouse may still go out and do things that they did before you married them, but they will always return in the evening.
