EPWS | 9. Meghan & Marc

It’s Wedding Story Wednesday! On this week’s episode of Emily Post Wedding Stories, you’re invited to the wedding of Meghan and Marc, which took place on September 9th, 2018, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Meghan and Marc knew from the get-go that they wanted a small, local wedding. And they certainly achieved it. Their Wednesday wedding was attended by their parents and grandparents, and Marc’s brother, with everyone joining the happy couple for a lobster-boil rehearsal dinner with whoopie pies for dessert the night before, a gift from Marc’s mom and stepdad, and a small but traditional ceremony the following day. For a small wedding, the couple was able to hit lots of traditional marks, from Meghan being walked down the aisle by her dad, to traditional vows, and a reception afterward that even included a first dance. Meghan and Marc 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.  If you enjoy 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, which helps our show grow, and that means we can bring you more wedding stories!

EPWS | 8. Hester & Khanh

It’s Wedding Story Wednesday! On this episode of Emily Post Wedding Stories, you’re invited to the wedding of Hester and Khanh, who got married at the State Botanical Gardens in Athens, Georgia, in June of 2007. Hester and Khanh (whom Hester calls Kano) met online in the early 2000s, and it was love immediately - her brother knew they would get married after he heard about their first date! They entered a lottery to secure a wedding date and time at the Athens Botanical Gardens, where organizers literally drew names out of a hat. The rest of their planning was pretty smooth, because Hester knew a lot of the vendors they hired and leaned heavily on their expertise. Khanh describes it as, “I pushed the easy button.” Their 120 guests celebrated in cocktail attire with Lee Epting Catering (now Epting Events), and Cecilia Vasques (Cecilia’s Cake Shop) made the gluten-free top layer for the cake so Hester could enjoy it. The couple offered Southern pralines as wedding favors, and guests left their good wishes and marriage advice for the couple in a wish tree guestbook. The wedding party was dressed in black tie, with the bride wearing a 1950s Dior-inspired one-shoulder gown designed by a local Athens, Georgia designer. The bride’s brother walked her down the aisle. Hester and Khanh were one of 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 must apologize for any less-than-stellar sound quality.  Thanks for joining me today, and remember to tune in for Wedding Story Wednesdays on your favorite podcast app!  Special thanks to Emily Kobus and Charlotte Burns for producing and editing today's epsiode.  If you're married and want to share your wedding story on our show, please fill out this form.

EPWS | 7. Michael & Mark

It’s Wedding Story Wednesday! On this episode of Emily Post Wedding Stories, you’re invited to the wedding of Michael and Mark, who hosted a cozy wedding in November 2023 in Aurora, NY. Michael and Mark, who don’t love being the center of attention, hosted 42 guests in Aurora, New York. The practical duo spent lots of time on the details that mattered to them, primarily the decorations, music, and menu, and they managed to get through wedding planning with only a few vendors - a miracle by today’s standards. Their evergreen decor and navy-and-silver color palette were all their own doing and perfectly fit their simple yet stunning wedding reception. As seasoned dinner party hosts, these two knew that what would matter most would be spending time with their guests. Michael and Mark were one of 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 must apologize for any less-than-stellar sound quality.
