I went for Popuri, because it seemed like she was the only one I could consistently gifts that she liked. I wanted to eventually get around to Ann, but my friend took his game back and I never got a chance. ;_;
I usually go with karen, one funny thing that I noticed that can happen is if you get her pregnant before New Year's Festival she will still drink the wine even though she knows she has a baby.
Popuri because I couldn't resist the pink hair. I was eying Karen until I found out that she was a drunk. I didn't want to wake up one morning and find all my livestock on the roof of my house.
I married Karen (well i married everyone at some point, but Karen was my favorite). I love her temper and I loved her event where we get locked in the wine cellar. I never did the dog cheat.
I liked Maria because you could find out her dad was involved with the mob? whhoa blew my mind when I was little.
I played it twice. The first time I married Elli. The second time, it was Karen. There's just something about Karen's charm (and the fact that she seems to be the most difficult girl to woo).
