Marriage, weddings, and having children
The full romance endgame in 1.0: forging the ring, proposing, planning the wedding, and the optional family route.
The short answer
At ten hearts with a dating partner, the engagement ring recipe arrives, and the ring is forged at a blacksmithing level-30 forge from a dragon-forged core, diamonds, mistril ingots and gold ingots. Proposing leads to a customizable wedding, and after marriage the Mystical Feather item opens the optional child discussion.
Ten hearts: getting the ring
The proposal is the 10-heart event and requires the Engagement Ring. Elsie delivers the recipe in a cutscene on the morning after you reach heart 10 with a dating partner. You then forge the ring from these materials:
| Ingredient | Count |
|---|---|
| Dragon-forged core | 1 |
| Diamond | 2 |
| Mistril Ingot | 4 |
| Gold Ingot | 4 |
The recipe requires blacksmithing level 30 and a forge. Build up blacksmithing alongside the relationship so you are ready at ten hearts. The essence and forge guide explains how to make dragon-forged materials.
Proposing consumes the ring. A useful detail from the 1.0 patch notes: 10-heart events can be retriggered with the ring until you choose to propose, so you can see every partner’s event and collect all the special items before committing.
The wedding
The wedding is one of the game’s event dates, with its own keepsake photo. In the days before it, wedding planning dialogue lets you customize:
- The flower color
- The cake flavor
- The meal served at the reception
The wedding day is an event. The calendar page shows its date, and the romance page tracks the wedding photo in the collectible set.
Children: the optional family
Children are a 1.0 feature and entirely optional. After the wedding, the Mystical Feather item becomes available through a cutscene in the weeks following the marriage, and it triggers the family planning discussion for players who want a child.
The game has 12 possible children, one fixed child for each romanceable spouse. The family discussion does not offer a name list: the person you married determines the child. The romance page lists every pairing, and the marriage guide on what’s new in 1.0 covers the release changes.
Practical notes
- Prepare the ring materials early. Start the forge and mistril-ingot pipeline before you reach ten hearts so crafting does not delay the proposal.
- The 10-heart events can be retriggered. You can see each partner’s event and collect its unique special item before committing.
- Marriage changes nothing about the farm routine. The spouse has their own schedule, but the daily loop of crops, animals and requests is unchanged.
- Children are a long-term project. The Mystical Feather arrives weeks after the wedding, so plan the family route as a post-wedding goal rather than part of the wedding itself.
