The star of Julián Is a Mermaid makes a joyful return — and finds a new friend — at a wedding to be remembered.
Julián and his abuela are going to a wedding. Better yet, Julián
is in the wedding. Weddings have flowers and kissing and dancing and
cake. And this wedding also has a new friend named Marisol. It's not
long before Julián and Marisol set off for some magic and mischief of
their own, and when things take an unexpected turn, the pair learns that
everything is easier with a good friend by your side.
