Jared Polis, married his longtime partner Marlon Reis in a small ceremony. The event is the first same-sex wedding of a sitting United States governor."The greatest lesson we have learned over the past 18 months is that life as we know it can change in an instant," Polis wrote to his Governor of Jared Polis Twitter account.
The 18 months is likely a reference to the ongoing global pandemic. "We are thankful for the opportunity to celebrate our life together as a married couple."After 18 years together, we couldn't be happier to be married at last," he finished.
Polis and Reis became engaged in December 2020, and announced that engagement to the public in March. The engagement came as Reis was preparing to go to the hospital after.
