"Stardew Valley's" big 1.7 update will add two new marriage candidates as creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone celebrates the farming sim's 10th anniversary and reflects on how the game has shaped his life and career.
Barone has confirmed that update 1.7 will finally let players marry blacksmith Clint and desert shopkeeper Sandy, turning two long‑requested NPCs into full romance options. Fans have been asking for more villagers to become spouses for years, and Barone saved the reveal of Clint and Sandy for the end of a special anniversary video, where chat erupted as he opened an envelope showing their new marriage status.
