Ah it's been a while since I peeked on this thread.
I'm pretty addicted to this game, I'm in Autumn of Year 2 now. ;-; I've nearly gotten all of my crops to 5-star (mostly through wanding in multiplayer on Ushi) and I'm just waiting for Klaus to pop the question (going for the reverse proposal) and trying to unlock Ice Country (I just need to ship like 100 more decorations). Honestly surprised at how far I've gotten considering some of my annoyances with the game, but I'm really enjoying it. c:

"Your sweetie does the exchange (i.e., a reverse ring exchange): Talk with your chosen marriage candidate on a sunny, non-holiday Saturday or Sunday with the Ring in your rucksack. If you have given him or her 100 or more gifts and the person has 25,000 FP or more, then he or she will trigger the exchange. He or she will use the Ring in your bag and ask you to go steady. For Elise, the reverse ring exchange requires her to be at a yellow flower color (45,000 FP) or higher. For Raeger, he needs to be on the first floor of the Restaurant and not upstairs in his living area."
