Description

In the glittering realm above, a moon princess prepares for a marriage that bridges sky and sun. Though her Moon Mother watches with pride, the young bride‑to‑be, Ethelda, longs to spend her honeymoon on the Earth below—a place she has only ever seen reflected in the ocean’s mirror. Her request unsettles the ancient customs, yet the determined Sun Prince Dorion agrees, setting the stage for a journey unlike any the heavens have known.

Their wedding dazzles the heavens, with golden chariots, silver rain, and a hundred radiant moon maidens accompanying the couple. As they descend toward the world of seas and forests, the pair encounter marvels and mysteries that test their courage and affection. Listeners are invited to follow their first steps on Earth, where wonder and danger await the newlyweds.
