What does this mean Now fair Hippolyta your nuptial hour draws apace Four Happy Days bring in another moon?
Theseus can hardly wait to spend the night with his bride-to-be - "four happy days" seems like an eternity when you're in love. To make the time pass quickly, Theseus tells his party planner (Philostrate) to go and "stir up the Athenian youth to merriments" (read: partying, hooking up, and fooling around, which is basically what goes down in the woods).

Why is it suprising that theseus and hippolyta are getting married?
In the Shakespeare play, a Midsummer Night's Dream, when we first see Theseus the first words out of his mouth are "our nuptual hour draws on apace". Now when a man walks on stage and the first thing he says is, "Hippolyta, we're getting married soon." how can this possibly be a surprise? We don't know who this man is or anything about him beforehand, and it is not inherently surprising that someone should be getting married. If he said it in Act three, after we find out that he's already married, or he's a monk, or he's gay or something, then we might be surprised by this announcement. Likewise, if he said "Hippolyta, I have three legs", or, "Hippolyta, I was born on the moon" a little surprise might be expected. But this is not surprising. It's not even surprising if you know the Greek myth, since it is part of the mythology that Theseus does marry Hippolyta.
