Colorado Governor Jared Polis weds longtime partner in first same-sex marriage
The wedding was a traditional Jewish ceremony that took place outdoors, and every guest was required to test negative for Covid-19, according to the news release.
Polis proposed when Reis was sick in December with Covid-19 and preparing to go to the hospital, according to an interview they did with the Colorado Sun in March.
“The greatest lesson we have learned over the past eighteen months is that life as we know it can change in an instant. We are thankful for the health and wellbeing of our family and friends, and the opportunity to celebrate our life together as a married couple,” the newlyweds said in the news release this week. “After eighteen years, we couldn’t be happier to be married at last.”
Polis and Reis have two children, ages 7 and 9.
