Once you have reached ten hearts, you will be able to marry them, provided you've seen their animated cutscene. If you are playing as the male character, then you will also need to buy a double bed from Blossom and craft an engagement ring once you reach crafting level 20.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
