In this installment of The Wedding Files, see how Grace McCleod and Emma Maltby eschewed standard traditions, creating a unique celebration modeled after Shakespeare’s five-act comedies.
When we ask newlyweds to think back on what they wanted most for their big day — and we’ve interviewed hundreds of them over the years — the most common response is “For it not to feel like a wedding!” Gathering with old friends and eating mini grilled cheeses in formalwear to celebrate love feels more special these days than ever, even downright miraculous. And the betrothed have never been less attached to the old wedding handbook — or the need to please their great-aunt.
Here, we spoke with playwright and screenwriter Grace McCleod and actress Emma Maltby, who are based in Los Angeles. A sense of theatricality and an aversion to the traditional led them to refer to their celebration as a “love soirée” and to create a five-act format for the affair based around their shared love languages. The party last September on Shelter Island kicked off in a shiny blue Cadillac and ended with sweaty guests jumping into the Sound.
Grace and Emma got married on Shelter Island, which is located between the North and South Forks of Long Island.Grace wore the bespoke pink linen suit of her dreams, while Emma chose a soft lilac gown by Jason Wu.They made their entrance in a blue Cadillac driven by Emma’s father. “We forgot to tell my dad where to stop, so we did drive past the venue and we had to yell at him to stop,” she says.
