Now let's see how you can marry NPCs in Stardew Valley.

You have several partners to choose from, but each requires you to establish a relationship with them. Relationship-building activities include regular conversations, birthday presents, quests, and giveaways offered about twice a week. After a specific time, you can also see a movie with them.

All of these activities earn you Friendship Hearts with your desired partner. You need 10 to marry each NPC.

The number of hearts you can get from the activities mentioned above is limited to eight. When you hit that threshold, you'll need to give them a bouquet, upgrade your farm, and gain access to the Tide pool at the beach.

After reaching 10 hearts with your NPC, you can ask them to marry you. Here's how:

1. Go to the beach when it rains and find the old sailor.
   
2. Purchase the Mermaid Pendant for 5 gold.
   
3. Go to your future spouse, select the mermaid pendant and right click on the NPC.
   
4. Ask them to marry you and they will automatically accept your marriage proposal. The wedding will take place three days after the deal, and your friendship level with the NPC will increase to 14.
   

If your life together isn't working out, you can always divorce. To file an application, you will need to go to the Mayor's Mansion, where you will find a small book with the possibility of divorcing your spouse.

Once you have filed, you can revoke your decision within a day. If you don't undo it, your spouse, bedroom, and unique outdoor space will disappear the next day. Your friendship levels will be reset and the other player will have "ex" under their name.

If you had children, they would remain on the farm after the marriage was dissolved.

Before deciding to divorce, think carefully about your decision. This will cause your ex to return to their former residence and have negative interactions with you, recalling why your marriage failed. They won't accept your gifts either, which can be a huge obstacle if you want to remarry.

The good news is that you can visit the witch's hut and erase your ex's memories for 30 gold. As a result, your ex-spouse will not remember your previous marriage, allowing you to date them and remarry. You can also turn your children from the previous marriage into doves using a prismatic shard. This removes them from the game permanently, but you can have other children with other partners.

• Coconut
  
• sunflowers
  
• Macedonia
  
• Pink Cake

How to Get Married in Winter in Stardew Valley

You can get married in winter in Stardew Valley just like in other seasons. However, since it does not rain at this time of year in the city, you will not be able to purchase the Mermaid Pendant. Therefore, you will have to buy it at another time.

Your other option is to use a rain totem. It is a handcrafted object that invites rain for the next day and is made of a hardwood, truffle oil and five pine tars. You can unlock the item's recipe when you reach it at forage level nine (one level from the threshold). Remember that you will need a lot of foraging experience to get the item if you plan to go this route.

The easiest way to improve your foraging skill is to chop down trees with your axe. Each tree gives you 12 experience points, while removing cut stumps gives you an extra point.

Another effective method is to pick up foraged items from the ground, which nets you seven XP. Additionally, clearing large logs and large stumps gives you 25 experience points. However, you will need a Steel Ax and a Copper Ax to do this.

If you don't like foraging, you can try your luck by searching the treasure rooms in Skull Caverns. They occasionally spawn between one and three Rain Totems.

After obtaining a Rain Totem, you can now use it to summon rain. All you have to do is select the item in your inventory and right click directly on your character. It will bring rain, allowing you to buy the mermaid pendant in winter.

Keep in mind that the Totem will not change the weather on the first day of a season or festival. If you use it in winter when it is snowing, it will cause both snow and rain. Also, the item can cause a storm if you activate it on a stormy day.
