It's a blatantly obvious reference to Dragon Quest V, a Super Famicom RPG (later remade for the DS). In the game, you come to a point where you need a ship. The way to get a ship is to prove yourself a great hero by retrieving a pair of rings, which gives you the right to marry a rich man's daughter (who has the ship you need).
To help you get one of the rings, you're accompanied by an old childhood friend who you meet earlier in the game, who went ghost hunting with you. When you return and give the rings to the rich man, he notices your childhood friend and gives you a choice. You can marry his daughter, or you can marry your childhood friend. Either way he will pay for the wedding and give you the ship. The DS version actually gives you a third choice, the rich man's OTHER daughter (who wasn't in the original game) who is kind of stuck up and treats you like a servant.
Anyway Konata was referencing the choice between the childhood friend or the rich girl for the wedding. You get lots of extra money and items for choosing the rich girl, and she gets better spells...but the game guilt-trips you into really wanting to pick the childhood friend even though you don't get anything special for it, and she's only a semi-competent fighter who doesn't learn very good spells...and she never does shut up about that ghost hunt from years ago.
