Before you get to marry, you'll have to get to know them first and bond with them through Friendship requests or Heart Events. Here's how to romance for marriage:

Before you get to marry, make sure to raise up Friendship or Heart Level to at least 8 or more!
You will get a special Heart Event where you will choose if you wish to get in to a relationship with them or just wanna stay friends!
How to Increase Friendship Level

To make it faster for you to befriend them, make sure to choose their favorite gifts based on their likes and dislikes, and gift them daily. If you don't have their best gifts yet, at the very least you give them gifts that they like or tolerate.
Makre sure to at least talk them daily as well. Note that having a direct talk yields more Friendship Points than just greeting.

Heart Events and Requests are orange, pink, and blue exclamation marks that appears on the map when there's a Heart Event available for title. If it's on their heads, try to rush to their location as some Heart Events are timelocked to a specific time, day, or even season.
You can only unlock the next set of hearts by completing the required Request, and doing all Heart Events and answering correctly will yield more Friendship points for them!

Once you accomplish all requirements, Stuart and Sonia will give you the Blue Feather the next day, which is a gift you can give to title that expresses your desire for marriage! You will also need to buy the double-bed upgrade from Wilbur's shop on at least Bazaar Rank 4!
How to Marry and Marriage Guide

Yes, players will be able to choose any of the 12 romance options regardless of the player character's gender.
