Rabbi Tirzah Firestone officiated at the small outdoor ceremony (photo).

Gov. Polis proposed in December, while both were sick with COVID-19 and right before Marlon was hospitalized. The couple have two children.

"I've been thinking about it for a while," the governor said. "I'd ordered the rings, with an inscription from Isaiah, and had them hidden and ready to go. And he was going off to the hospital with COVID. I mean, I knew he'd probably get better, but obviously, you never know. I thought now's a good time to give them something to remember here as we leave the house to take him to the hospital."

The ceremony was hours before the start before Yom Kippur:

Reis called it an interesting coincidence that their wedding took place hours before Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism; they wanted to incorporate as many Jewish traditions as possible into the ceremony.

Yom Kippur is a holiday of atonement and fasting — what Reis described as renouncing false vows.

“Instead we would be actually taking vows to one another, which is the ultimate vow. To be together forever, to care about each other and support one another.”

I don't know Marlon's parents, but as to Jared's parents, Susan Polis Schutz and Stephen Schutz, in college I had every book they wrote. I still have a few in storage. They were such an inspiration.

I doubt Jared has time for reading blogs these days, but back in 2005, he was a very generous reader of TalkLeft.(scroll down)

L'Shana Tova (לְשָׁנָה טוֹבָה)to Colorado's First Family, wishing them a happy New Year and many wonderful years to come.
