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.
