Can you marry other players in Stardew Valley?

Yes, you can marry other players in Stardew Valley if you’re playing the game’s multiplayer mode, which lets up to 4 players team up on the farm.

The process for marrying other players is much faster than with NPCs. While bonding with, and eventually marrying, an NPC can take between 2 and 3 in-game months, you can skip a lot of the process and propose to another player immediately, however, there are a few things you’ll need first.

The first thing you’ll have to do is purchase the Wedding Ring blueprint from the game’s Traveling Cart that spawns in Cindersap Forest from 6AM – 8PM every Friday and Sunday. The blueprint is available to buy for 500g. Once you have the recipe, you can craft the ring providing you have x5 Iridium Bars and x1 Prismatic Shard.

Now you’ve got the ring, you’re free to ask for your co-op partner’s hand in marriage. Simply gift the Wedding Ring to the other player, and the ceremony will take place 3 days after the proposal has been accepted!
