Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Marriage and Rivals
WARNING: This guide could contain spoilers! Please keep that in mind as you read.
The Girls
Ann: A tomboy who lives and works at the Inn.
Rival: Cliff
Birthday: Summer 17 (Alternate Summer 22)
Family: Doug (Father)
Favorite Items: Apple, Spa-boiled Egg, and Pineapple
Elli: A sweet girl who works at the Clinic.
Rival: Doctor
Birthday: Spring 16 (Alternate Spring 20)
Family: Ellen (Grandmother) and Stu (Brother)
Favorite Items: Flowers
Karen: A fun-loving girl who lives at the Supermarket.
Rival: Rick
Birthday: Fall 15 (Alternate Fall 22)
Family: Jeff (Father) and Sasha (Mother)
Favorite Items: Wine and Truffle
Mary: A quiet girl who works at the Library.
Rival: Gray
Birthday: Winter 20 (Alternate Winter 25)
Family: Basil (Father) and Anna (Mother)
Favorite Items: Bamboo Shoot, Blue Grass, Green Grass, Mushroom, Truffle, and Poison Mushroom
Popuri: A high-maintenance girl who lives at the Poultry Farm.
Rival: Kai
Birthday: Summer 3 (Alternate Summer 10)
Family: Rod (Father), Lillia (Mother), and Rick (Brother)
Favorite Items: Flowers, Honey, and Spa-boiled Egg
The reason for the alternate dates is just in case your character has his birthday on their original birthday. For instance, if your birthday is Fall 15, Karen's will then change to Fall 22.
Also, the favorite items listed are not the only items that they love, but they are the easiest to obtain. Jewelry is something that every girl loves.
Heart Levels
Courting the girls is time consuming and will take until at least Fall of year one (I've only ever gotten to Winter year one). If you want to get married as soon as possible, give your chosen lady her favorite gift every day that you are able, talk to her at every festival she attends, and ask her to the "date" festivals.
Now, you may notice that there is a heart at the bottom of the girls' dialogue. These do not appear for any other villager. The reason is so that you know how much a girl likes you. There are seven levels in total, which are different colors and get bigger as they level up.
Black Heart: Tiny and doesn't beat, means that the girl just met you and thinks of you as an acquaintance.
Purple Heart: Small and beats a little, means that the girl knows you a little better, but doesn't really think of you as a friend.
Blue Heart: Small and beats a little, means that the girl thinks of you as a friend.
Green Heart: Medium and beats more, means that the girl thinks of you as her good friend.
Yellow Heart: Medium and beats more, means that the girl is flirting with you.
Orange Heart: Large and beats a lot, means that the girl has a crush on you.
Red Heart: Large and beats a lot, means that the girl is in love with you.

Special Events
Ann's Introduction
Triggered the first time you visit the Inn.
More affection for Ann and more affection for Doug if you say she's cute.
Ann's Question
Triggered with at least a purple heart, visit the Inn.
More affection for Ann if you say she's wrong; less affection if you say she's right.
Ann's Wheeling and Dealing
Triggered when you have at least three grown chickens in your coop.
No matter what, you lose affection. That's okay because it is easily gained back as long as you accept. Bring 3 chicken eggs to her every day, excluding festival days, until she doesn't accept them anymore. If you skip a day, the event ends.
Elli's Introduction
Triggered the first time you visit the Clinic.
More affection for Elli if you say that it doesn't hurt.
Elli's Question
Triggered with at least a purple heart, visit the Clinic.
More affection if you say it's fun; less affection if you say it's hard.
Elli's Sandwiches
Triggered with at least a purple heart, be on your farm at noon.
More affection if you eat her sandwiches for 3 days straight.
Karen's Introduction
Triggered the first time you visit the Supermarket.
More affection for Karen if you say that Duke should pay.
Karen's Question
Triggered with at least a purple heart, visit Hot Springs area.
More affection if you say love life problems.
Karen's Flowers
Triggered with at least a blue heart.
More affection if you plant the flowers.
Mary's Introduction
Triggered the first time you visit the Library.
More affection if you ask what she's writing.
Mary's Question
Triggered with at least a purple heart.
More affection if you say that you came to read a book; less affection if you say just stopping by.

Triggered the first time you visit the Poultry Farm.
Follow her to the Hot Springs. More affection if you say my sympathies.
Popuri's Question
Triggered with at least a purple heart.
More affection if you say that it might be fun; less affection if you say that she should stay.
Popuri's Egg
Triggered with at least a purple heart and an empty space for a chicken in your coop.
More affection if you hatch the egg, and even more affection if you name it "Popuri."
Marriage
WARNING: Do not propose until after the Winter Thanksgiving (Winter 14) festival if you do not have any chocolate for recipes!
Once a girl reaches the red heart level, it means that she wants to marry you. It's not that hard to get married, in fact you only have three requirements.
Your first requirement is for your lady to have and keep the red heart level. If you give her gifts that she hates, eventually her heart level will degrade to the orange level. I don't recommend ever giving anyone gifts that he or she doesn't like.
The second requirement is for your house to have been upgraded twice. This is the second to last upgrade that Gotz offers to you. This upgrade has a kitchen and a separate bedroom instead of your house being a studio-style house. This upgrade costs 750 lumber and 10,000G.
The third and final requirement is obtaining the blue feather. Yeah, that's right. Instead of a diamond ring, the girls want a pretty feather. Once a girl gets to the red heart level, you should be able to buy it. Now, be aware. Won will come to your house one morning and offer you a blue feather. Do not buy that. It is way too expensive, and you can buy one at the Supermarket so much cheaper. Once you get it, it will be considered a tool, not an inventory item. Just go up to your girl and press square when you have it equipped. If you meet the other two requirements, she should say yes. The wedding is in a week, and will be postponed if it is on a festival day.
Baby
After a month of marriage, your wife will start complaining of being sick. Naturally, that must mean she's pregnant, right? Well, in this case, that's exactly what that means. Visit the Clinic to get a cut scene of the great news. However, there will be more waiting.
Your wife says different things throughout the pregnancy. Although it is a very long and boring time, it only takes two seasons for the baby to be born. You can name it, but it will always be a boy.
After a bit, your baby will start to grow with people remarking that he looks just like you.

Rivals
The rivals mentioned above are really nobody to fret against, they're more of a back up in case you don't want the girl. If you marry their girl, the guy doesn't get married to someone else. They're alone, forever.
Since they don't really pose a threat to you, why are they there? Well, you don't want to be the only married couple with a baby in the town, do you?
Getting the rival couples to marry isn't difficult, but also time consuming. This isn't an every day task of giving someone a gift, but you should talk with the guys often and occasionally give them gifts. Eventually, you will be rewarded with cut scenes.
Cliff: A reserved guy who lives at the Inn and spends most of his time at the Church.
Birthday: Summer 6
Family: None
Doctor: A guy who later reveals his name as Tim who works at the doctor at the Clinic.
Birthday: Fall 17
Family: None
Rick: He tends to the chickens at the Poultry Farm.
Birthday: Fall 27
Family: Rod (Father), Lillia (Mother), and Popuri (Sister)
Gray: A guy who apprentices at the blacksmith and spends his free time reading.
Birthday: Winter 6
Family: Saibara (Grandfather)
Kai: He loves summer and only visits then at his Seaside Lodge.
Birthday: Summer 22
Family: None
In order for your rivals to get married, you must witness some cut scenes between the two future lovebirds. There aren't many, however I am fairly certain that they cannot marry until at least year two.
These cut scenes will not occur one right after the other so don't expect that. Also, after the last scene, they will get married.
