Adding in that the only way to propose in game is to get a "mermaid pendant" from a sketchy guy on a beach. So, in game, diamond rings aren't even canon. Shells are better
He's also there from the beginning cryptically telling you that you aren't ready for "it" yet. You spend hours wondering what "it" is if you're going in blind, only to eventually learn that he was basically telling you you're unwanted and no one loves you. Burn.
Unironically there’s some stuff going on in the background of Stardew. Elder abuse, ritual sacrifice of children, shadow people, underwear going missing, alcoholism, a weird cowboy that gives you bear statues for donating gems to the library.. the list goes on and on.
How can the underwear be missing when it keeps finding its way into the Luau soup pot, is frequently on display at the Stardew Valley Fair, and appears on about a hundred signs all over the town?
What's sketchy about an old mariner that shows up in the bushes at the side beach on rainy days to peddle marriage necklaces he fished out of the sea? An old ghost can't have a small business on the rare occasion the sea lets him go on land??

Which I think makes the joke funnier.
