No. These are the only marriage requirements:
Have at least nine hearts with the character
Complete all of their Heart Events
Upgrade your house
Get the Blue Feather
Some people can not be married unless you have rung a specific Bell or all the Bells. But Maya is not one of those people. You might have to ring the Red Bell but you do not need to do all of them.
talk to them and give them a gift they love every day. :)
That depends on who you want to marry. Some people don't move to the Island until you ring a certain Bell. If you want to marry the Harvest Goddess or Harvest King you will need to ring all the Bells. It might be the same for the Wizard and Witch but I am not sure.
you feed it milk or fairly rare fish every day and 'rub' it with the player 2 remote. i did this when i got the border collie and i got 1 heart every 2 days!
No, Every animal you buy is a girl.
In Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, there are three ways to befriend others: 1) Talk to them. 2) Give them a gift that they "like" or "love". 3) Rub them with a second Wii remote. The Friends screen in your menu will give you some ideas about gifts for the person if you highlight them and then press minus, but there are also some resources available online with full lists. It's best if you see the people you're trying to befriend every day, as that will make them go up hearts for you faster.
You can't. One of the requirements to get married is to rescue the Harvest Goddess. To do that you must find 60 Harvest Sprites. You have to complete every single marriage requirement. There is no way around it.
Macy' parade
I've never played it but pretty much all of the other harvest moon games are good. You could try reading a review on it on the internet. if you're talking about Animal Parade, then YES. that game is awesome. it's got a lot of story to it, very fun to play. I've played every other HM game and this one is one of my favorites.
for every wild animal to come with you, it has to have six hearts for you.
grocery store
Just like in animal crossing for gc, Joan is in your town every Sunday. She sells them.
Yes, every Bachelor lives with their wife once the are married.
