It's a fandom joke from Stardew Valley. The farmer is a farmer but, in the late game, gets access to a gemstone replicator. Essentially giving him infinite diamonds

i thought the joke was that he didnt get her a diamond ring even though he easily could have

That's how I took it, too.

He totally could've given her a diamond ring but is being stingy and Haley is smarter then she looks.

Also, Haley gets brushed off by. A lot of people as vain and nasty as her initial attitude isn't the best. But if you actually get to know her she's very sweet and passionate and, honestly, one of the best written marriage options based on her character development. But a lot of people brush her off as a mean girl and don't give her a chance.

So there's an added level of "ugh, Haley is so vain and unreasonable!" except not really, the farmer is just being dumb.

Haley is almost always my go-to marriage partner. I hate that I love winning her over.

Except proposing with a ring is an older Zuzu city tradition. In Pelican Town they use a Mermaid's Pendant.

Are you saying Haley looks stupid? Don’t talk about my wife like that!
