There’s a big roster of Stardew Valley characters, including plenty of marriage candidates, if you like. Each villager hangs out in a different spot around Pelican Town, and some will provide you with quests to complete, or give you nice gifts when you become friends. Most of the Stardew characters accept two gifts from you each week, and they each have unique likes and dislikes you should take note of.
