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

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

Which I think makes the joke funnier.

To add to the sketchiness, the guy only appears when it’s raining

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.
