"I want to propose to [Mii]. Should I do it?"
- Mii, Tomodachi Bliss
Marriage is a type of relationship in Tomodachi Bliss, in which two sweethearts join together and become husband and wife.
A marriage occurs after a certain amount of time (anywhere between months and, very rarely, under an hour) has passed and both Miis maintain a good relationship with each other. One of the two dating Miis will have a problem icon and say that they want to get married. It's possible to have multiple marriages within 24 hours, but it's quite rare.
Proposal Request
In the Mii's apartment, an intense violin riff in the background will be heard, accompanied by a slow heartbeat. Upon tapping the Mii's thought bubble, the Mii will say that they want to propose, and the player can choose to help. Choosing "Not right now" allows the player to make preparations before the proposal.
When the player agrees, the Mii will ask where should they propose to their Sweetheart, which can be chosen out of these 8 locations:
- Fireworks show
- Sunset Park
- Fancy restaurant
- The Train Station
- Amusement Park
- Beach
- Snowy Fields
- Mall
The Mii will also ask of they should change clothes, then say that they're really nervous at proposing to the right moment, and request that the player should notify them to propose to their sweetheart, by telling their sweetheart's thinking about him or her.
The Proposal
"My [darling/love]... will you marry me?"
- Mii, Tomodachi Bliss
After the player agrees to let Miis propose, the Mii and their sweetheart go to the chosen location, where there'll be a mini-game where the player must help the Mii propose at the right time by signaling that the sweetheart's thinking of them. The game lasts for four rounds, and the player has three chances to propose, represented by three small hearts floating between the couple.
As a slow heartbeat is heard, a thought bubble will rapidly appear and disappear over the sweetheart as various pictures cycle through, showing the various thoughts going through the Mii's mind. When the proposer's face appears on the sweetheart's thought bubble, the player must quickly tap "NOW!" to let the propose know that it's time to talk.
When the player succeeds, the conversation will carry out, and a thumbs up will show as the hearts' size expand. The conversation differs depending on the round. If the player misses, the sweetheart may abruptly Chan the conversation accordingly to what's in the thought bubble; if there isn't anything in the thought bubble, the environment may disturb the conversation in several ways (e.g. passing train, Fireworks popping loudly, loud cheering, a loud crash in the background, or a waiter/ waitress suddenly checking up).
Upon failure, one heart will break. If all three hearts break, the Mii being proposed to will ask to leave as the proposal fails. The Mii can ask to try again in the future, but sometimes the other Mii will ask instead. They won't gain sadness upon a failed proposal.
Once the player succeeds three times and the hearts are full-grown, the heartbeat in the background speeds up, and they must tap "NOW!" at the right moment one more time to finish proposing. If done so, the zmik will propose to the sweetheart, and the latter will happily accept. As celebratory romantic music plays, the Mii who had proposed will cheer while any othrr Miis around them will applaud. The player can applaud by tapping the screen until the view fades to white.
Getting Married
"We're so excited for our wedding!"
- Mii, Tomodachi Bliss
Following a successful proposal, the Mii and their sweetheart will present a gift and proceed go get married and have their wedding. If the couples aren't adults, the gift will always be an Age-o-matic, and the player will be asked to use it on them before their marriage can take place. The player can choose to use it or not; if their request is denied, the wedding will be canceled.
After the engaged Mii couple gives a present, the wedding scene is shown. A bell is shown ringing as white birds fly past, and the camera shows the newlyweds: the broken wearing a tuxedo with the bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers, with a cake shown between them. They walk up to each other as the Miis applaud to the couple. Then, in an overhead view, the bride tosses her bouquet over her shoulder as the view becomes a gold-tinted photograph.
After Marriage
"Please don't stop checking in on us just because we're married."
- Mii, Tomodachi Bliss
After marriage, the couple will spend their honeymoon in a random county, bring back a souvenir, and settle in a newly constructed house. The married Miis can switch between living in their house or their apartments; however, they can still only interact with the player in their apartments. A married couple can have a baby or have multiple babies with the player's permission. Marriage isn't guaranteed to last forever, since a divorce is possible.

A total of eight locations can be chosen, each with different interactions.

Trivia
When the proposal between two !it's is successful and they're kids, the couple gets changed into their clothes for the wedding after they're adults. However, if the proposal is between two adult Miis, they don't get changed.
Due to the presence of a wedding cake between the married couple, it's obvious that the setting's at the reception and not the ceremony.
It's possible to remarry a different Mii as well as an ex-aweetheart/spouse.
If the player pushes the HOME button, this will temporarily freeze the action so that they have a few more seconds to tap the heart when the proposing Mii's face is in the thought bubble. This helps make proposing easier, in case there's only one chance left.
