How To Marry Sam

The more you give Sam things he likes and raise his hearts, the closer you’ll get to marrying him. Some of the heart milestones have cutscene events that you need to go to certain places to see. There are ones for two hearts, three hearts, four hearts, six hearts, 8 hearts, 10 hearts and fourteen hearts. Most of them can be set off by either visiting Sam at his home or just entering into town. At 8 hearts, you can buy a bouquet to gift to him, and you will officially enter into a romantic relationship. You can propose once you get to 10 hearts with them.

To get married, you have to renovate your home once at the minimum. After you do this and you fix the bridge on the beach, you’ll be able to purchase a Mermaid’s Pendant, which is used to propose marriage to your candidate of choice. If the proposal works, you’ll get married 3 days after.

Once you are married, Sam will move in with you, and you’ll be all set! To see other potential marriage candidates in Pelican Town, give Stardew Valley a try today!
