How To Get Married In Stardew Valley
Getting married in Stardew Valley is a pretty major in-game event, so you'll need to fulfill quite a few prerequisites before you're able to marry the villager of your choice.
First, you'll have to reach 10 friendship hearts with the villager you want to marry. You can get the first eight hearts by talking to them, completing quests like finding Robin's lost axe, and giving them gifts. Once you reach 8 hearts, you'll need to purchase a bouquet - which you can get from Pierre's store - to get the final two.
Once you have all 10 hearts, you need to go to the Old Mariner and get a Mermaid Pendant, which will set you back 5,000g. Next, just gift it to your partner.
The final step is simply to wait for your wedding day, which will take place three days after you give the Mermaid Pendant to your new husband or wife. (Note that if there is already a planned event - say, the Flower Dance - on the date of your wedding, the wedding date will be one day later, so it will take place four days after your proposal.)
Who Can You Marry In Stardew Valley?
While you can marry many characters in Stardew Valley once you get to know them, not every villager is open to dating or marriage; some of them already have partners.
Here's a list of all of the characters you can marry in Stardew Valley:
What Happens When You Get Married In Stardew Valley?
When you marry a partner in Stardew Valley, you'll receive a ton of benefits. They'll move in with you on the farm, and will even help you out with a variety of chores around the farm after they do.
You'll be able to earn up to 14 hearts rather than just 10 after your new husband or wife moves in with you; try to keep them high if you want to maximize the benefits of marriage, as your partner will be more inclined to help you out if you do.
You'll also be able to have children with your husband or wife if you so choose.
Getting married in Stardew Valley is as simple as that; once you reach 10 friendship hearts with a villager, all you need to do is bring them a Mermaid Pendant.
