Courting Your Beloved: Building Relationships

Alright, before you can even dream about weddings and spouses, you gotta get to know the folks in Portia. In My Time at Portia, building relationships is key, and it's how you unlock the possibility of marriage. Think of it like a real-life relationship, you know? You can't just walk up to someone and propose without knowing their name or, you know, what they like!

So, here's the lowdown on how to successfully court someone in My Time at Portia.

Gift-Giving: The Language of Love (and Friendship)

First things first: gifts. Seriously, gifts are your best friend in this game. Everyone in Portia has things they love and things they, well, aren't so keen on. Finding out what someone likes is your first task. Start by chatting with potential partners – they'll often hint at their favorite things. You can also check the wiki, or even just experiment (which can be fun!).

• How to Give Gifts: Approach your chosen sweetheart, and there should be an option to give them a gift. Make sure you have the gift in your inventory! Easy peasy.
• Gift Tiers: Gifts are rated on how much your potential partner likes them. A loved gift provides the most relationship points. Gifts they like, are good, and neutral give less points. Don't give them a gift they dislike, because it can decrease your relationship points. Some gifts have special properties that affect the relationship.
• Daily Limit: You can give one gift per day. Make it count!

Talking and Chatting: Get to Know Them

Besides gifts, you'll need to talk to your chosen partner. This is where you actually get to know them. Through dialogue, you can raise your friendship/relationship level and learn about their hobbies and interests. So, engage in conversations! The more you chat, the more they'll like you, and the more relationship points you'll earn. Pay attention to what they say.

• Daily Chats: Have a daily chat with the person you like. Don't take it for granted, or you'll regret it.
• Dialogue Options: Choose the answers that match their personality to gain more relationship points. You can increase the relationship points by choosing their hobbies or the things they are interested in.

Dates and Events: Special Moments

As your relationship progresses, you can go on dates. Once you reach a certain friendship level, you can start going on dates with your chosen person. These dates often involve mini-games or special activities that help you get closer. These dates give huge relationship points. Don't miss out on these! Plus, Portia has festivals and events throughout the year. Participating in these events with your sweetheart can boost your relationship significantly, and you also get to enjoy the festive atmosphere! Keep an eye on the calendar!

Relationship Levels: From Friends to Lovers

As you give gifts, chat, go on dates, and participate in events, your relationship with the character will increase. The relationship has different levels: Stranger, acquaintance, friend, good friend, close friend, special friend, sweetheart, and spouse. The higher the relationship level, the more options you'll have, and the closer you'll get to marriage! Keep in mind the relationship with the character may reduce if you do not interact with them. So don't take it for granted!

Reaching Sweetheart Status: The Path to Romance

Alright, so you've been showering your chosen one with gifts, chatting them up, and going on dates. Congrats! You're probably well on your way to becoming a sweetheart! This is the next step to marriage! This is the stage where you unlock the possibility of marriage.

The Heart Knot: A Symbol of Affection

To become sweethearts, you'll need to give them a Heart Knot. You can buy this from the Church of the Light for a modest fee. This is the first step towards marriage, and it signifies your intentions. Think of it like an engagement ring, but Portia style!

Making the Proposal

Once you’ve given the Heart Knot and your relationship is high enough, you’ll unlock the ability to propose. You will require a marriage license, and, of course, a ring! You can purchase a wedding ring at the Church of the Light. Then, go to your sweetheart, and select the propose option. If your relationship is high enough, and if they have not already been proposed to, they will accept your proposal!

Tying the Knot: Getting Married!

So, you’ve done it! You’re engaged! Now for the big day: the wedding!

Planning the Ceremony

The actual wedding planning is pretty straightforward in My Time at Portia.

1. Wedding Date: First, you will set the date for the wedding. You can choose when your wedding will take place.
2. Wedding Location: You have some options, but the most popular is the Church of the Light. The more you upgrade your house, the more options you will have.
3. Wedding Attire: You and your spouse will have beautiful wedding attire to wear. Yay!

The Wedding Day

On the day of the wedding, you’ll have a cutscene that shows the ceremony. After the ceremony, you’ll officially be married! Congratulations, you are married!

The Honeymoon Phase

After the wedding, you'll enter the honeymoon phase. You'll move in with your spouse, and you'll experience a bunch of benefits. You will get to sleep in the same bed, and your spouse will provide many benefits for you. This is also when the option to have children becomes available!
