Giving a bouquet

When you give a bouquet to someone in Stardew Valley, it’s usually a gesture of romantic interest or affection. This can lead to certain outcomes depending on the recipient’s interest in you.

Married candidates

If you’re married, giving a bouquet to another candidate can have dramatic consequences. The same rules apply: if the bouquet is accepted, the result will be an increase in the player’s friendship meter with the recipient. But what about your spouse?

If you’re married and try to give a bouquet to someone else, things can get a bit complicated:

• If the bouquet is from the player to their own spouse, nothing happens, and the conversation ends.
• If the bouquet is from the player to someone else (i.e., it’s rejected), a jealousy sequence will trigger: the married candidate will become flustered and upset, ultimately leading to an angry message saying something along the lines of "We’re married!"

Jealousy sequence

As mentioned earlier, getting a bouquet to someone else while already married can lead to a jealousy sequence. If this happens:

• The married character will become visibly upset and flirty, with speech bubbles indicating frustration and dissatisfaction in the relationship.
• An angry message will appear, conveying the character’s resentment towards the player, stating, "We’re married!", and implying disloyalty towards their spouse.
• The player may also incur a 30-point punishment to their marriage level with their significant other!

Wilted Bouquet Consequences

Giving your spouse a wilted bouquet will, unfortunately, cancel the wedding and end your chance at becoming a couple. Take note, this is one-way damage; reviving a withered bouquet on your partner won’t restore things to how they were.

Other consequences

• Canceling weddings: As mentioned before, giving your spouse a wilted bouquet will cancel any ongoing wedding invitation.
• Impact on friendship: Marrying off a candidate affects the friendship score with the other eligible villagers, not the one whom you proposed to.

Conclusion

Before making decisions about bouquets and romantic advances in Stardew Valley while married, take a moment to pause and weigh the consequences. Remember the important details, such as the bouquet’s effects on your spouse, candidacy, and friendliness.
