    EPWS | 5. Sinclaire & Maximilian

    It’s Wedding Story Wednesday! On this episode of Emily Post Wedding Stories, you’re invited to the wedding of Sinclaire and Maximilian, who hosted a truly international wedding on Sep 5, 2021, in the south of France. Sinclaire, a native New York City girl, and Max, who is from Germany but has lived all over the world, got legally married in New York City in late 2019. They then hosted a black-tie wedding in late September 2021 for their friends and family (and a taxidermied sheep, named Earl!) Their location was a fabulous villa in the south of France (which made an appearance in Netflix’s Emily in Paris!) Together, they hosted about 90 guests from 13 different nationalities for the week, and there were enough pre-wedding events that the guests were able to get to know each other before the big day. Their reception featured a 6-course formal meal, all at one long table with antique chairs. You do not want to miss hearing more about this wedding!  Sinclaire and Max were one of the couples I interviewed for research for our upcoming book, Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette, out in February of 2027. Please excuse any less-than-stellar audio quality and my amateur interviewing. If you’re married, and would like to share your story on our show, please fill out this form.

    EPWS | 4. Allison & Paul

    It’s Wedding Story Wednesday! On this episode of Emily Post Wedding Stories, you’re invited to the wedding of Allison and Paul who were married on August 19, 2022, at the Canoe Club Ballroom, West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. At Allison and Paul’s wedding, they wanted their guests to feel as though they’d stepped onto an old movie set. Their officiant was a local WGBH radio NPR host and friend, and Allison, a dancer, led not only the groom in their first dance but also joined local swing dance professionals to lead the rest of the guests in a swinging good time as they all danced the night away! Self-described nerdy details were a huge part of the planning, with comic books in the centerpieces and Paul’s Dune-inspired signature drink. Keep an ear out at about 30 minutes in when Allison reads from her list of “lessons learned” from wedding planning, which is a gold mine of great advice! Allison and Paul were among the couples I interviewed for our upcoming book, Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette, out in February of 2027. Because this was a research interview, I apologize for the less-than-great sound quality and my amateur interviewing skills.  If you enjoyed today’s episode, please like, subscribe, and we’d be so grateful if you posted a review on your favorite podcast app. It really helps our show’s ranking and helps others discover it.  If you’re married, and would like to share your story on our show, please fill out this form.
