Fields of Mistria: How to Marry and All 12 Marriage Candidates

Marriage is one of the headline features of the Fields of Mistria 1.0 release, and it turns a simple courtship into a full wedding, a shared home, and the option to raise children. The path runs through a single villager you build a relationship with over time, and it only locks in when you hand over a crafted Engagement Ring.

Quick answer: Raise a romance candidate to Heart Level 10, read the Engagement Ring scroll that Elsie mails you the next morning, craft the ring at a crafting station, then give it to that villager to propose.

What you need before you can propose

Marriage sits behind the heart system. In the full release, the heart cap moved from 4 up to 10, and 10 hearts is the exact threshold that opens a proposal with a romanceable villager. You raise hearts the same way you always have, by talking to your chosen character every day, handing over gifts they like or love, and taking them on dates once dating unlocks.

You can only marry a single villager, and only one at a time. Dating is more relaxed, so you can build hearts with more than one candidate at once and even trigger several 10-heart scenes before committing. When you finally pick, that choice replaces the open dating stage with a marriage.

Reach Heart Level 10 with the villager you want to marry.
Have access to a crafting station to make the Engagement Ring.
Choose a candidate who is single, since taken characters cannot be courted.

How to get married in Fields of Mistria

Build your chosen villager all the way to Heart Level 10. Daily conversations, their loved gifts, and dates are the fastest ways to fill the gauge. Completing their heart events along the way keeps the relationship moving.

Adeline in Fields of Mistria — Adeline, the town’s leader, is one of the twelve marriage candidates.

Check your mailbox the next morning. Once a character hits 10 hearts, Elsie sends a scroll with the Engagement Ring recipe. Read the scroll to learn the recipe, then craft the ring at a crafting station.

Watch the 10-heart event and collect the keepsake it gives you. Nothing is locked at this point, so if you are still deciding between characters you can trigger everyone’s 10-heart scene and keep each item. The ring even lets you replay these events until you commit.

Give the finished Engagement Ring to the villager you want to marry. Handing over the ring counts as your proposal, and the two of you become engaged.

Plan the ceremony. In the days before the wedding, your fiancé talks through the arrangements with you, so you get a say in the flowers, the cake, and the food served to your guests.

Attend the wedding. After the ceremony cutscene wraps, you settle into married life together and unlock three furniture pieces themed around your new spouse for your shared home. Those furniture pieces are the clearest sign the marriage went through.

Note: If Elsie’s scroll has not arrived, the villager is not yet at 10 hearts, or you checked before the following morning. The ring only becomes craftable after you read that scroll.

All 12 marriage candidates

There are 12 villagers you can court and marry, with no gender restrictions, so same-sex marriage is fully supported. Two candidates who were once hidden behind blacked-out portraits, the dragon guardian Caldarus and Seridia, are now romanceable alongside the original ten.

Celine in Fields of Mistria — Celine, a gardener who helps at her family’s general store.

Tip: The quickest way to raise hearts with any of them is a daily chat plus their loved gift, so learn what each character prefers before you start spending on presents.

Starting a family after the wedding

Children come only after you are married, and the path is entirely optional. A while into married life, a cutscene presents you with the choice, so you decide whether to grow your household or keep farming as a couple. Living together as a married pair also comes with shared benefits around the home you build together.
