Leah and Grace got married at their family’s oceanfront home on Cape Cod in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, with an outdoor ceremony and tented reception. They had an August wedding and got ready together inside the private residence; they had no wedding party and walked into the ceremony together. They were married by family friend Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall, who wrote the opinion on same-sex marriage that made it legal in Massachusetts.
