WARNING -- THIS IS MISSABLE
I know (as of the time of writing) it isn't flagged as such, but it is.
This achievement is awarded for completing Gust's romance questline. If you fail the final quest, or prevent it from triggering, you will not be able to get the achievement. I will say no more before the spoiler warning, but I will be explicit if you choose to read on.
Spoilers below -- I'm not going to bother flagging them since that would be basically the whole solution -- you've been warned.
So the achievement is awarded for completing Gust's romance questline. It is rather time-intensive, but not terribly difficult at all. If you don't want to marry Gust, simply reload your save from the morning of the final quest.
The first thing you will need to do is improve your relationship with Gust, which can be done by giving him gifts and playing/dating etc. The easiest way I found was through gifting two particular items:
- The book "Five Hundred Creative Designs" gives +15 points. You can get it from the game corner in the restaurant for 250 tickets. The dart game is quick and easy, but it is still a grind to get 250 tickets per day.
- Umbrella gives +10 points but is much easier to get in large quantities. You unlock the recipe early and they can be crafted from spines, copper, and fiber cloth -- all easy to get. If you need spines, you can kill urchines or put in a commission with the Civil Corps.
Once you get him to "Friend" status, you can Romance him by buying a Heart Knot from the flower shop. I had to wait until we were "Good Friends" before he actually would accept it.
Now with that out of the way, the romance questline can begin. There are 3 steps (technically more, but you get the achievement after the third):
(--EDIT-- Several people in the comments have said that they didn't have to do both A Date and Gust's Commission for the marriage quest to begin, so it's possible that if your relationship gets high enough, the aren't mandatory)
- A Date -- simple quest where you meet him at the Church at 19:00
- Gust's Commission -- a bit annoying, you have to take care of his pig for 6 days while he does other stuff. Make sure you feed the pig at least 5 times, or you will lose reputation when the quest ends. The pig likes Apples, Aroma Apples, and Milk, and it is "fed" by giving them as a gift.
- Commission of Happiness -- okay this is the achievement quest, and you must reach "Lover" status with Gust for it to trigger. Two important things to note: (1) You must have at least a level 2 house in order to be married, so the quest will not trigger until you upgrade your house at least once (2) This quest is timed -- if you don't complete it within the limit, you will fail and not get the achievement.
With that out of the way, on to the quest itself. You get a letter in your mailbox from Albert asking you do do a delivery for him. Talk to him and get 3 wallpapers to deliver. Deliver them before 18:00. Go back to Albert, and he will tell you to go talk to Gust on the beach. Do so immediately. Gust will then propose to you. You must accept his proposal to get the achievement. If you choose any of the other options, you will fail the mission and miss the achievement. I thought the answer about actually being in love with his sister was hilarious, so I picked it, he got pissed off, the mission failed, and I didn't get the achievement.
Other ways to miss this achievement:
- If you propose to Gust on your own, and he accepts, his proposal mission will not trigger.
- According to the game's Wiki (I did not verify this myself), if you're already engaged at the time he proposes, he will get mad, and the mission will fail.
There may be more ways to fail, but these (in addition to the others I mentioned in the body) I know of for sure.
You can gay-marry Gust.
2nd year summer, had max stars with Gust, then gave heart knot. Then did
"Albert asking you do do a delivery for him. Talk to him and get 3 wallpapers to deliver. Deliver them before 18:00. Go back to Albert, and he will tell you to go"
and achievement unlocked.
(bacon-something food gives 15 Gust points. Roses from shop gives 10 oinks.)

Great guide thank you.
I can confirm that if you are at 'Best Friend' status with him when you give him the lovers knot you will instantly jump to lover. The next day he asked me for the Date, and the following morning the Albert letter was in my mailbox so I didn't even need to show up to the Date for him to propose. Also he loves all the books you dig up in the ruins. Must agree how tempting it is to mess this up though - I don't want to marry a narcissist! How true.

This is the last achievement I need, so I didnt mind using the item dupe glitch. If you're in the same boat, read on.
You can dupe ANY item very easily (I did this for the 500 year book and the 5 Dee-dees), all you need is a chest with open slots, and open slots in your inventory and hot bar. Put the item you want to dupe (the 500 year book) in your inventory or hot bar, go to a chest, and press X and Y at the same time (might take a few tries) and the item will move from your inventory to your hot bar (or vice versa) while also remaining in the old spot, doubling your inventory.
Do this 4 or 5 times and you'll have 32 books. If you go over 1000, it will reset, so don't go over that.

Gusts Comission isn't required. I went from 7 to 8 after the date and the next morning I got the letter from Albert, and then the achievement after finishing the mission.

Gust asked me to marry him before I even got the “date” quest, so I don’t think that is required either.

Double Drawer from Brothers shop will give +30 Relationships points with Gust

I had Gust at ten before dating him, and as others mentioned only needed to go on a date before the final quest was available. I think he randomly just invites you on dates etc and the “quest line” is really just the one final quest that you need to do correctly.
He also asked me to take care of QQ as I was waiting for the Mysterious Man to show up so I could divorce him.

I don't know if it's because an update, but now Albert gives you "Commission of Happiness" in person, not via mail. I waited almost a week besides my mailbox when I saw Albert in my map with the blue circle an ! of a quest. Talked to him and he gave me the quest. I hope this helps.

Gotta be more to this. I had Gust at Lover status and both "A Date" and "Gust's Commission" done for a full month before Albert showed this quest. I had Gust all the up to Soulmate for probably a week before it finally triggered.
