Starsand Island marriage is not a confirmed wedding system in the reviewed sources. Independent Early Access guides say the relationship end state is called Move In: raise an eligible Bond character to five hearts, then ask that person to live in your home. The move does not happen automatically, and a community guide says the property needs a spare bed. Official Version 1.0 news confirms expanded dating but does not mention weddings, rings, children, or a renamed marriage feature, so any formal ceremony is Unconfirmed.

Marriage Means Move In in Reviewed Guides
Players commonly search for marriage, but the opened Early Access guides use Move In for the final relationship milestone. Eurogamer describes it as marriage, or Move In as the game calls it, while Sportskeeda says players cannot technically marry and instead live together at the final level. VG247 likewise says there is strictly speaking no marriage option even though Move In is exclusive to eligible Bond relationships. None of those reports documents a wedding ceremony.
Official Version 1.0 material confirms romance and a larger dating system without announcing marriage. It names picnics, arcade games, and seaside kite flying as dates, and it adds relationship stories at three hearts. The official text reviewed for this project does not mention rings, vows, a wedding venue, spouses, or children. A formal post-launch ceremony must therefore remain Unconfirmed rather than being inferred from the word romance.
Move In is still a meaningful end state even without a ceremony. The chosen resident lives with the player after the option is unlocked and accepted, according to the independent guides. Non-Bond residents are described as ineligible for this relationship-specific option. Treat the term marriage on this page as a search label for those sourced Move In rules, not as proof of an unverified mechanic.
Reach Five Hearts With an Eligible Resident
The reviewed guides describe relationships through five heart levels. For Bond characters, their shared unlock sequence is receiving gifts at one heart, a group-photo invitation at two, room access at three, posting requests for that resident at four, and Move In at five. Those unlock names appear across Eurogamer, VG247, and TheGamer. Exact total points for the later hearts are not published consistently and remain Unconfirmed.
Build affection through ordinary relationship actions rather than chasing an unsupported number. Independent guides name daily conversation, one gift per resident per day, bulletin-board requests, returned lost items, and character or profession quests as contributing activities. Gift preferences can be viewed in Social as the player discovers reactions, which is safer than assuming every online preference table matches Version 1.0. Reports disagree about some item preferences and the effect of disliked gifts.
Three-heart Relationship Stories and Version 1.0 dates can happen before the final Move In decision. Official news says the three-heart story may begin with a mailbox letter the next day or by visiting a familiar place. It also treats dating as a separate invitation unlocked when the relationship is strong enough. Neither feature should be described as a wedding or as automatic cohabitation.
Ask Them to Move In
Reaching five hearts does not automatically place a resident in the home. Eurogamer says the player must ask the eligible character to Move In after unlocking the option. This distinction matters because five hearts can exist without a completed invitation. If nothing changes immediately after the fifth heart appears, first look for the interaction that explicitly starts Move In.
Housing space may also matter. The reviewed wiki.gg Getting Started page says certain residents can be invited when a spare bed is available, while Eurogamer advises ensuring there is enough room. Neither source supplies a complete Version 1.0 housing checklist in the material collected for this project. The exact bed type, room layout, and timing of the housing validation are Unconfirmed.
Use the current game interface as the deciding check. Confirm the resident is marked as an eligible Bond or romance target, confirm five hearts, provide a spare bed or adequate room, and then look for the Move In request. Do not buy or craft a supposed proposal item because no such required item appears in the reviewed sources. A claimed ring, ceremony fee, or special numerical cost would be unsupported here.
Candidate and Roster Limits
Official Version 1.0 news says Starsand Island has 14 romanceable NPCs but does not list their names. Earlier independent guides named 15 Bond-tagged characters, producing a conflict the official count alone cannot resolve. This page therefore cannot promise that every Early Access candidate still has identical Move In behavior. Check the current Social profile and available interactions before committing resources to one old roster entry.
Youfang is the clearest known exception from Early Access. Eurogamer and VG247 both reported that he could be romanced but did not have the five-heart Move In option. Official launch material does not identify whether he belongs to its 14 romanceable residents or whether his end state changed. His Version 1.0 Move In availability is Unconfirmed.
The guides also disagree about pursuing several candidates. Eurogamer says multiple romance options can reach five hearts before the player chooses whom to invite, while DualShockers says only one romance can be chosen at a time. No reviewed official source settles that difference. Avoid promising a consequence-free multi-romance route or a specific exclusivity trigger.
Dating Is Not the Same as Marriage
Version 1.0 dating is an activity system for spending time with a romanceable resident. The official examples are picnics, arcade games, and flying kites at the seaside, and the feature becomes available when the relationship is strong enough. A date does not by itself establish that Move In has happened. It also does not document a spouse label or wedding state.
This distinction prevents old wording from becoming a false Version 1.0 claim. An article may use marriage casually because cohabitation fills a similar role, but casual terminology is not a developer-confirmed ceremony. When the interface says Move In, use that label. When a formal marriage feature is not shown or officially named, mark it Unconfirmed.
Troubleshooting a Missing Move In Option
First confirm the person is currently eligible, because ordinary residents can have friendship hearts without the Bond-only Move In milestone described by the guides. Then verify that the relationship has reached five hearts rather than only completing a three-heart story or date. Provide a spare bed and enough usable home space based on the available housing guidance. Finally, speak to the resident and inspect the available relationship interaction instead of waiting for an automatic move.
If the candidate is Youfang, the missing option may match the documented Early Access exception. If another candidate lacks it, an unfinished story, housing check, version difference, or roster change may be involved, but the reviewed sources do not give a universal diagnosis. Do not invent a heart-point deficit or hidden item requirement. Record the specific blocker as Unconfirmed until the current game or an official guide explains it.
What Is Confirmed and Unconfirmed
The strongest supported path is simple: eligible Bond characters progress through five hearts, and independent guides place Move In at the fifth level. The player must ask rather than expecting an automatic move, and available guidance indicates the home needs room, possibly a spare bed. Version 1.0 officially includes dating and relationship stories. The reviewed official material does not announce a wedding ceremony.
The unresolved list includes a formal marriage or children system, a proposal item, exact late-heart totals, the precise housing validation, Youfang's current status, and whether several candidates can be pursued without restriction. The final 14-person official roster is also unnamed. These are not minor details that can be filled with guesses. Until an official source or direct Version 1.0 verification settles them, each remains Unconfirmed.
