Married Life

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' birthday is also a date that has to be remembered, as you can celebrate his/her birthday by giving them a gift during the day, or entering 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.

Children
Personality If you marry Luke, your children will have three personality possibilities: Romantic, Quiet, or Fiery. The Scholarly personality will not be available.

Appearance Luke's children will have dark blue hair and yellow eyes. Your children will always look like spouse, but with a darker hair color. They will also inherit some of your spouse' personality, but you can choose their personality with a variety of different choices offered at each stage of their growth.

Rival Heart Events
Selena will be your rival for Luke. If the two marry, you'll be able to see their child Lucy in your game.

All of the rival events must be triggered in order to see them get married. Playing as a male, the player needs to befriend Luke. Similarly, if the character is female, you need to befriend Selena. Selena must be unlocked in order to start triggering their events. You must ring the Blue Bell to unlock Selena, and meet Luke in Fugue Forest for the first time for him to appear.

4 Heart Rival Event

Walk to Harmonica Town Beach from 10am to 8pm on a sunny day when Luke (male player) or Selena (female player) has 5 hearts.

Selena is practicing her dancing when she realizes that somebody is watching her. Luke tells her that her dancing is very nice. Selena accepts the compliment, but seems disappointed that Luke doesn't ask more about her. After exchanging names, Luke asks where Selena regularly is. She tells him she can be found at the bar, as they both smile and leave.

5 Heart Rival Event Exit your house in the morning when Luke or Selena has 5 hearts.

If you are playing as a female character, you will be greeted by Selena, who wants to ask about her relationship with Luke. Encouraging Selena will make her relieved and you can see the couple's last rival event. Discouraging Selena means that you want to marry Luke yourself. The same event happens if the player is a male, except that Luke will come to your house asking about Selena. The process is the same; only the dialogue will change.

Proposal (7 Heart Rival Event)

Go to Brass Bar between 4pm and 8pm when Selena (female player) or Luke (male player) have 7 hearts.

While Owen and Luke are watching Selena's dancing, Luke tries to explain that he has been feeling weird lately, and wonders if something is wrong with him. Owen laughs and says that he's just lovesick! Selena overhears the conversation and says that she thinks that she's the problem! Luke accepts that there must be no cure for his love sickness and asks Selena to marry him, which she happily accepts.

Wedding

Two weeks after watching the 7-heart event, Luke and Selena will have their wedding ceremony. You will get a letter in your mailbox (regardless of which gender you are) from Selena and Luke asking if you will attend their wedding. The date will be on the invitation, as well as the time. Wedding ceremonies are always at 10am.

On the scheduled wedding date, walk into Celesta Church to see Luke and Selena's wedding. Luke and Selena's family and friends will be attending. All you do is sit back and watch as a guest of their wedding. After the event is over, you will be transported outside of the Church.

After Rival Wedding After Luke and Selena get married, Selena will move into the Carpenter's house in Garmon Mines. She will still continue to work at the Brass Bar. On her days off, she will spend her time in the Garmon Mine District, or can be found at the Carpenter's during the day. Luke will continue to spend most of his time in the Garmon Mines District.

Two weeks after their wedding ceremony, Luke and Selena will send a letter regarding the birth of their new baby girl named Lucy. Visit the couple at their home to meet their new baby. Lucy will live with her parents and spend much of her time in the Garmon Mines district once she's grown. She will not appear in the game if Luke and Selena did not marry.

Other Events
Ancient Ruins It is necessary to befriend Calvin, Owen, and Luke to 3 hearts before being able to see this event. Venture to the 20th floor of the lower Garmon Mine to view the event.

After finding a dead end at the bottom of the mine, Owen and Luke want to crush the wall with their hammers. They're hoping to find a new place to explore. Just as they're about to smash the wall, Calvin intervenes and is appalled that they would destroy a piece of history! Calvin says that there's writing on the wall thousands of years old, and that the writing could teach a lesson to others. Owen and Luke still insist on breaking the wall down, while Calvin argues against it.

Eventually, the three compromise to go talk to the Mayor. They cannot reach a decision on their own, and hopefully City Hall can come to a decision as to what to do with the space instead!

Table Troubles

To view this event, you must befriend Gill, Bo and Luke to 3 hearts or more (all of them). Walk into Town Hall in between 8am and 5pm on a day that it's open.

Luke and Bo have come to listen to Gill's order. Gill wants one of his tables fixed, and hopes that the carpenters can help him. Gill insists that he would like a normal table. Luke, however, has different plans! He wants to make an extreme table, plain is boring! Gill is frustrated that Luke is so fixated on his own thoughts. Bo steps in to diffuse the situation and says that he will try and talk some sense into Luke, before Gill gets too mad!
