I just search up what she liked and gave it to her every single day. I'm married to Iroha, because she was the easiest. xD
And yes it took forever.
I have played Island of Happiness once, I didn't like it at all. :(
Yes, I love Harvest Moon!
My favorite one is Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, but I haven't played in a long time. :(
The last thing I did in A New Beginning was getting married, then I stopped playing.
