Thresholds
A heart event is a scene that starts at a friendship threshold. Marriage candidates pause at 8 hearts until a bouquet. The 10-heart scene is the one before a proposal. After the wedding, a spouse can reach 14 hearts.
Dating all six bachelors, or all six bachelorettes, can start a group 10-heart scene. After that scene the group gives you the cold shoulder for a week. Giving bouquets to more than one candidate does not, by itself, lower friendship.
The table is the threshold and where the scene starts, for Stardew Valley 1.6.x.

The group scene
See every 10-heart scene for one gender, while you are still unmarried and still dating all six, and the group scene can start. Bachelorettes use Haley and Emily's house. Bachelors use the Stardrop Saloon. If Haley or Alex is the last of those six scenes, the group scene starts the moment that scene ends, so the rabbit's foot has to already be in inventory.
With the foot, the scene stays friendly. Without it, the cold shoulder lasts about a week and they refuse gifts. Friendship points stay where they were. A Mermaid's Pendant, a wilted bouquet, or a wedding keeps the scene from starting.
Each group scene plays once per save. Dating more than one candidate does not, by itself, lower friendship.
