Recheck your wedding date before festival season
Three festival preparation dates are now excluded from wedding scheduling: Spring 14, Fall 7, and Winter 7. When choosing a ceremony day, treat those dates as unavailable and select another eligible day so the wedding does not compete with festival setup.
There is one save-specific warning for players who booked before updating. If your ceremony was already placed on one of those dates, the Spring or Harvest festival may fail to begin as expected during that in-game year. The festival should operate normally in later years, so this is a reason to plan around the affected year rather than restart a long-running save.

Wedding memories and festival visits are safer
The patch corrects two problems around married life. Wedding photos should no longer present the ceremony as rainy, and attending a festival with a spouse should no longer trigger the related crash. These fixes reduce the need to avoid a festival outing or worry that the keepsake image will show the wrong weather.
The broader proposal and ceremony sequence is unchanged. Use the current wedding guide for eligibility and scheduling, while keeping the three newly excluded setup days in mind.
Related task: Museum
Museum completion and achievements get recovery fixes
Completing the Museum should now deliver its letter reward. If you were holding off on the final donation because of the missing correspondence, Patch 1.0.3 addresses that reward path; use the Museum completion guide to review the remaining collection work before turning in the last item.
Achievement checks were also made more reliable for earned milestones, with True Love and Parent named among the affected achievements. The practical takeaway is to update before judging an earned milestone as permanently missed, then revisit the relevant relationship or family state in your current save.
Date photo portraits are visible again
A follow-up hotfix restored date photo portraits across the NPC cast. Players who encountered blank or absent portraits in date photos should update to the current 1.0.3 build before repeating the scene or troubleshooting display settings.
Open the affected task guide
For ceremony timing, continue to the wedding guide. For a final donation or missing completion letter, open the Museum completion guide. For True Love, Parent, or another earned milestone, update the game first and use the achievements guide.
