Wedding Mishap: What Now?

Missing your wedding in Stardew Valley can be a frustrating experience for players, especially if they have invested a lot of time into the game. The wedding ceremony takes place in the morning, three days after the player proposes. However, if players miss this event due to technical issues or accidental skips, they can attempt to reload their save files to go back to the previous day and try again. While this solution doesn't always work, it is the only way to view the missed wedding ceremony. Alternatively, players can choose to divorce their spouse and remarry, although this option comes with a hefty in-game price tag.

You can reload the previous day's save file to rewatch the wedding ceremony

If you miss your wedding in Stardew Valley, you can try reloading the previous day's save file to rewatch the wedding ceremony. Here's how to do it:

• Create a backup of your current save file: It's always a good idea to back up your current save file before making any changes, in case something goes wrong. You can usually find your save files by pressing the Windows key + R, typing %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves, and clicking 'OK' to open the folder. From there, you can copy and paste your current save folder somewhere safe.
• Find the previous day's save file: In the same folder, look for two types of files: one with the same name as your farm or farmer, followed by a number, and another one with the same name but ending in "_old." The file with "_old" is the save file from the previous in-game day.
• Rename the previous day's save file: Before making any changes, make sure to create a copy of the entire folder and store it somewhere safe. Then, rename the "_old" file by deleting the other two files and removing "_old" from the name.
• Load the previous day's save file: After renaming the file, you can load the save file from the previous day. When you load the save, the game will load the previous day, allowing you to rewatch the wedding ceremony.

By following these steps, you can reload the previous day's save file and rewatch the wedding ceremony in Stardew Valley. Just make sure to back up your files before making any changes to avoid losing your progress.

The wedding takes place 3 days after you propose

In Stardew Valley, the wedding ceremony takes place in the morning, 3 days after you propose. For example, if you propose on Monday the 1st, the marriage cutscene will take place as soon as you wake up on Thursday the 4th.

When the ceremony is completed, you and your spouse appear at the farmhouse at 6 am (on the porch, or if you have restarted or reloaded the game day, inside the house). The day then proceeds as it normally does when you are married. Friendship with your spouse can now rise to 14 hearts, but decays by 20 points per day whenever there is no contact between you two.

The wedding ceremony does not take place on a day that another event takes place in the town square or a Green Rain day. In such cases, the wedding is delayed until there is a day without such an event. On the day of the wedding, the weather icon that appears between the date and time is replaced with a heart. The weather will also always be sunny, regardless of the Weather Report's forecast the day before.

Once a villager has been married, they will move into the farmhouse. They will have a maximum of 14 hearts instead of 10, and keeping them happy will result in them helping around the farm. A happy spouse might make breakfast, feed animals, repair fences or water crops. They occasionally change the wallpaper or flooring of the Farmhouse, or add a piece of furniture to a room. Interacting with your spouse when no dialogue is available will result in an embrace.

You can divorce your spouse for 50,000g

If you miss your wedding in Stardew Valley, you can try to reload the previous day's save file to go back and attend the wedding. However, if you accidentally skip the wedding cutscene, you can still go through with the divorce process.

If you want to erase your ex-spouse's memory of the marriage, you can complete The Goblin Problem quest and then visit the Dark Shrine of Memory at the Witch's Hut. This will cost you 30,000g, but it will allow you to build a normal friendship with your ex-spouse again.

You can erase your ex-spouse's memory for 30,000g and remarry them

If you miss your wedding in Stardew Valley, there is a way to go back to the previous day and try again. However, if you accidentally skip the wedding cutscene, you can also get a divorce and remarry your ex-spouse.

In Stardew Valley, players can visit the Witch's Hut in the late game and find a shrine that can erase all ex-spouses' memories for an offering of 30,000g. This will also wipe Krobus' memory if he was a roommate. After using the shrine, your ex-spouse will act as if they have never met you before. For example, they might say, "You're the new farmer, aren't you? You seem... no. I'm sure we've never met."

Erasing your ex-spouse's memory will also erase any heart events you have previously seen, as these can only be seen once per save file or per player in multiplayer. Additionally, any children from the marriage will be removed from the game, but you can have more children with another partner.

It's important to note that divorce in Stardew Valley costs 50,000g, and your spouse will move back to their old residence, have negative interactions with the player, and will not accept any gifts. They will also no longer attend your wedding or treat you normally during festivals. Therefore, erasing your ex-spouse's memory and remarrying them can be a way to avoid these consequences and start fresh.

The wedding is delayed if there is another event in the town square

If you're planning your wedding in Stardew Valley, it's important to keep in mind that the wedding ceremony will not take place on a day when another event is happening in the town square. In such cases, the wedding will be delayed until there is a day without any competing events. This means that if you've scheduled your wedding and then realise there's another event taking place in the town square on the same day, you won't be able to go ahead with the ceremony as planned.

The wedding ceremony takes place in the morning, three days after you propose. So, if you propose on a Monday, the marriage cutscene will take place when you wake up on the Thursday of that week. Once the ceremony is completed, you and your new spouse will appear at the farmhouse at 6 am, either on the porch or inside the house if you've restarted or reloaded the game day. The day will then proceed as it normally does when you're married.

It's worth noting that the weather icon is replaced with a heart on your wedding day, and the weather will always be sunny, regardless of the previous day's weather forecast. This can be a nice touch for your special day!
