How to marry Stardew Valley's Emily
As with all Stardew proposals, before you can get married, you need to earn ten hearts of friendship with Emily and have given her a bouquet from Pierre's shop at eight hearts of friendship. You'll also need to have upgraded your farmhouse at least once and have access to the tide pool to the east of the beach.
Once married, Emily will move into the farmhouse and set up her own room to the right of the bedroom, complete with her pet parrot. She'll also get herself a nice little crystal garden where she goes to meditate and clear her head.
Emily may offer you gifts sometimes, which is nice. Here is what you can get:
| Rainy mornings | Cloth, wool, duck feather, refined quartz, bean hotpot |
| Rainy nights | Rice pudding, blueberry tart, cookie, chocolate cake |
| Emily stays inside the house | Cloth, wool, duck feather, refined quartz, bean hotpot, coffee, omni geode |
What's up with Emily and Clint?
It's no secret that Clint has a bit of a crush on Emily, but the sad news is that even if you don't pursue her, they will never be together. Currently, bachelors and bachelorettes aren't able to marry each other or other NPCs. There is something to note, though; if you get Emily to eight hearts before you get Clint to six hearts, you won't be able to complete Clint's six-heart event due to him seeing you and Emily together.
