One of the biggest end goals in a farm sim (other than a massive wine-making operation) is getting married to your favorite townie. Moonlight Peaks lets you really play the field by going on dates with pretty much everyone before you lock down one chosen beau.
I’ve been through the process a couple times already, so I’ve broken down everything you need to know about popping the question, prepping for a wedding, and how to get divorced if you want to head along to your second (or third) marriage. I won’t judge you for getting married early and then realizing that you want to date Samael later.

What happens when you get married
Your spouse will now live with you at the farm.Little ChickenAfter proposing, you will have a “fiance” and all other partners will be “hurt” and reduced to 4 hearts.Little ChickenSpouse moves into your houseSpouse unlocks two final (10 total) friendship hearts for you to earnAnyone else you were dating becomes “hurt” and goes back to only four heartsYou can no longer invite other characters on a date and are locked at four hearts with other marriage candidates
When you propose and become engaged, your partner will temporarily have the “fiancée” relationship label and a total of 11 friendship hearts. Any other character who you had a “dating” or “partner” relationship with will be in their feelings about it and temporarily gain the “hurt” relationship label. They will be reduced to just four broken-looking friendship hearts, will have sad dialogue when you chat with them, and will not accept gifts from you. This status seems to only last a day though, so singles in Moonlight Peaks move on fast.
After you get married, your spouse will move into your house but will still go about their own business in town by exploring or going to work like they always have. They will go back to having eight friendship hearts and will have two new hearts to earn while married for a total of 10. You can continue to ask your spouse to go on dates together, which will help you earn those final hearts. You cannot have children in Moonlight Peaks, but you can get divorced.

How to get divorced in Moonlight Peaks
A few days after your wedding, Llemi will come to your house to tell you about divorceVisit Llemi’s house in the Pink Grove (must progress the main story and unlock Luna Bay to reach it)Tell Llemi you want to divorce your spouseSleep until the next night and your spouse will return to “friend” status
Getting divorced in Moonlight Peaks is arguably way too easy. When Llemi first comes to your house a few days after your wedding to just casually drop the possibility of divorce into your mind, he calls it “A clean slate. No bonds, no vows, no lingering what-ifs. A love undone as if it had never been.”
Despite his protests about breaking your partner’s heart when you actually come to take him up on the offer, “as if it had never been” seems to be how Moonlight Peaks treats divorce because your ex-spouse will be totally unfazed by your marriage ending. They’ll return to being your “friend” the following day with only four hearts, no “hurt” relationship label, and will not acknowledge the divorce in dialogue at all. In fact, they’ll act like they want to start dating you all over again.
Remember though, getting married in the first place locked all your other relationships at four friendship hearts. If you want to tie the knot a second time, you’ve got a lot of gifting and dates to do to make it back up to eight hearts with your next prospective spouse.
