Can you marry Stardew Valley's Demetrius?
Stardew Valley's Sebastian already has a ring on his finger.

You deserve someone who will commit to you 100%, and Demetrius' wife, Stardew Valley's Robin, deserves the same from her husband. However, you can build a solid friendship with him, and you can never have too many friends in a small place like Pelican Town.
