Andromeda, daughter of Cassiopeia, was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to the sea monster Cetus to appease Poseidon. Perseus, flying overhead on Pegasus, saw her, saved her, and married her.

Cadeau-idee

Andromeda tells a story of love and rescue — perfect symbolism for a wedding gift, proposal, or an anniversary that commemorates the moment two lives crossed.
