Marriage and Family
Price met her future husband, Edwin Main Post, a prominent banker, at a ball in a Fifth Avenue mansion. Following their wedding in 1892 and a honeymoon tour of Europe, they lived in New York’s Washington Square. They also had a country cottage, named Emily Post Cottage in Tuxedo Park, which was one of four Bruce Price Cottages that she inherited from her father, Bruce Price. The couple had two sons, Edwin Main Post, Jr. (1893) and Bruce Price Post (1895).
The couple divorced in 1905, because of her husband's affairs with chorus girls and fledgling actresses, which had made him the target of blackmail.
