The
best? Hmm... tough choice, since they're all pretty great in a way. But I know my favorite marriage subevents go something like this:
Bachelorettes: Dolce > Amber > Margaret/Meg > Forte > Clorica = Xiao Pai
Spoiler:
-To be honest, I completely forgot what all the bachelorette's subevents were even about, lol. I remember enjoying Dolce's the most because of how heartwarming it was between her and Pico, Nancy, and Jones. Transitioning to a new family, more or less, can be hard. Especially if you've been asleep for hundreds of years, and everyone and thing you once loved is left in the past as history.
-Amber's was pretty good in my opinion, just a little weird how they sprang back her monster form out of nowhere for the sake of a backstory... or maybe they didn't. Like I said, I barely remember the bachelorette events.
-Margaret's was good too; really set up her character in a whole new way on how she would be afraid to outlive the ones she loved. The event made me wish that you could somehow propose to her near the end, like you could in both Clorica and Xiao's events.
I honestly forgot Forte's entirely, but I can guarantee that I liked it more than Clorica and Xiao's events.
-Clorica's attitude in her event just ruined it for me. Just... I don't even know. Their conversations either felt more like a brother and sister arguing, or a new couple setting relationship boundaries. Her event made me want to marry her less.
-Xiao is best girl with a « Cow Poopoo » family and depressing backstory. After seeing her event, I wanted to hug her and never let go, because that poor clumsy girl needs some love. Her father ruined it for me, and I think Lin Fa was just her usual ditzy self during her moments. They could have used the event to paint her family in a more positive, stable light, but they went in the complete opposite direction for the sake of giving Xiao Pai some confidence. She's the one girl with a legit reverse proposal, so bonus points for that!!!
Bachelors: Doug > Arthur >Dylas > Kiel > Vishnal > Leon
Spoiler:
-I'm probably super bias with Doug's event since I married him first, but his was pretty damn good imo. It wasn't too long, wasn't too short, made me laugh, made me cry a little, made me angry, made me smile and roll my eyes; the usual really. But his was one of the only events that felt like an actual marriage event, unlike some other candidates that were more "blah blah 'help me do this one important task' blah blah *small bit of backstory* yadda yadda 'You're really inspiring and amazing~ I know! Let's get married!'". I preferred Doug's the most because of that, since his event was based on the idea of marrying you from the start, rather than just popping the question randomly and awkwardly at the end. Plus, I love how all the candidates come together throughout the whole thing to help Frey out. Not to mention that his animated cutscene for the event was him proposing to you, unlike Clorica who was just sleeping, or Dylas' which only showed his prepared meal.
-Arthur's event was lovely. I enjoyed getting to learn more about his mother, although the entirety of the story practically moved me to tears. You always expect quirky villagers to like a certain thing just for the sake of liking a certain thing, but I never imagined a more deep backstory to be connected with Arthur and his love for collecting glasses.
-Dylas had a nice event too, and I also like how it was more based around the idea of marriage proposals. I remember seeing the argument between Frey and Dylas as being kind of pointless, but whatever; it built up to the event's climax I guess. The townspeople's reactions were pretty amazing and hilarious, and the backstory he had was depressing, iirc.
-Along with Forte, I honestly cannot remember Kiel's event. Didn't he want to become a knight? Or wasn't he trying to dig up one of his parent's letters? I remember being bored out of my mind for this event; it was long, tedious, and confusing, along with the proposal feeling a little forced at the end.
-Vishnal's was ok, probably more quirky than the others. The whole thing felt cliche with not being able to "marry your master", since isn't that what Clorica technically can do with Lest? Eh, I wish they would've gave Vishnal more backstory, since his event was cut short compared to others. Also don't like how he promised to quit his job of a butler just so he could marry you. The way it rubbed off on me left me feeling like I just got engaged to a bum, more or less. True love holds no bounds, just please don't try and sacrifice your job for it.
-Leon's was the worst for me. I ended up stopping halfway through; it was that awful. Even finishing watching what I missed pissed me off. The way Frey acted seemed out of character for her, since I feel like she would have had more understanding and empathy. Though I remember Leon being a « Rick » at times. The whole 'he saw Maria as a sister and never loved her to begin with' is fine and all, but... he also only acknowledged his true love for Frey after he discovered that Maria moved on with her life and married another man.
Feels like I wrote an essay. Oh wait, I think I just did.
