How To Get A Wedding Ring Stardew Valley

So, you've caught the Stardew Valley bug, eh? And even better, you've found someone special in Pelican Town that you want to put a ring on! Well, hold your horses, because getting hitched in this charming farming sim isn't *quite* as simple as buying a diamond ring at the local Zales (because, well, there isn't one!).

The Mermaid Pendant: Your Key to "I Do"

Forget the diamonds, darling! In Stardew Valley, we're all about the ocean's bounty. Your ticket to wedded bliss is the elusive Mermaid Pendant. Think of it as the pixelated equivalent of a Tiffany's engagement ring, only slightly more...fishy.

Where do you get this magical trinket, you ask? That's where our slightly eccentric, definitely salty, old friend the Old Mariner comes in.

Finding the Old Mariner

First, make sure it's raining! This is crucial. The Old Mariner is a bit of a fair-weather fisherman, only appearing on the beach's eastern side when the skies are pouring. Imagine waiting all season, only to realize you needed an umbrella – the heartbreak!

He lurks on the beach you unlock by repairing the bridge (for 300 wood). If you haven't fixed the bridge yet, that's your first mission, soldier! Get choppin'! You can find this bridge right on the beach.

Now, there's a catch (of course there is!). The Old Mariner isn't just giving away mermaid bling to any old farmer. You need to have a strong relationship with your chosen sweetheart.

Building a Heartfelt Bond

You gotta reach ten hearts with your intended. That's pixelated love, folks! This means lots of sweet nothings (dialogue), thoughtful gifts (their favorite ones, obviously!), and maybe a little help around the farm (hint, hint).

Don't be a cheapskate! Knowing their loved gifts is key to your romance life. Keep in mind that gifting is a finite resource, so be wise.

Remember that you can only get someone to 10 hearts *after* giving them the Bouquet from Pierre's. That shows you are serious.

The Price of Love (and a Pendant)

Assuming you meet all the requirements, the Old Mariner will happily sell you the Mermaid Pendant. It'll set you back 5,000 gold. That's pocket change compared to a real-life wedding, right?

If you don't have enough gold, go mining, fishing, or selling crops! There is a ton of ways to make money in Stardew Valley, go get some.

Popping the Question

Now for the big moment! Simply give the Mermaid Pendant to your beloved. No need to get down on one knee (that would be a coding nightmare!). They'll accept it (assuming you've reached those crucial ten hearts), and the wedding is set for three days later.

Keep in mind, once you give someone the Mermaid Pendant, that's it! You can't give it to anyone else, so make sure that is who you really love!

The Big Day!

Congratulations! Your wedding will take place bright and early on your farm. All your friends and neighbors will be there to celebrate your union. No need to stress about seating charts or catering costs – Pelican Town takes care of everything!

After the ceremony, your spouse will move into your farmhouse and help out with chores (sometimes!). It's the beginning of a beautiful, pixelated life together. May your crops be bountiful, and your love even more so!

So there you have it! Getting married in Stardew Valley in a nutshell. Go forth, find love, and may your farm always be prosperous!
