Rabbi Ruthie hails from New York and has lived in Boulder for 15 years. She is affiliated with Congregations Har HaShem and Synagogue of the Summit, thus giving her opportunities to also do lots of biking, xcountry skiing and dog walking. Rabbi Ruthie is a second generation friend of the couple, as Zach's mom Roz and Rabbi Ruthie's aunt Sue are super close friends. She is honored to be officiating at this joyous union.

Clara Gillispie has been asked to submit a bio and acknowledges receipt of said request. She can verify that Dr. Herz previously attended a debate camp in Washington, D.C., in or around the summer of 2002 and, to the best of her knowledge, has no formal ties to the Communist Party.

Hi! I am Mariana Noé, Zach's philosopher friend. I came to the United States in 2015 with a lot of fear and very shaky English. However, Zach took me into his arms and patiently showed me the world (RuPaul's Drag Race, Ulpian, Popeyes). I adore him, and I am ready to celebrate him as he deserves.

Will St. Clair is a regular on the wedding circuit and has prioritized this exclusive engagement for the 2025 season. Mr. St. Clair and Dr. Herz have collaborated on a variety of projects, including bar trivia, a tabletop game based on a popular reality TV program, and candlemaking.

Frankie (Jeffrey's niece) will be in charge of livestreaming the ceremony to people watching from elsewhere, since she is a Phone Person. She has promised not to use weird filters on us, but we don't believe her.

Kelsey first met the Rev. Dr. Dr. Zachary Herz, Esq., at a high school costume party. He was dressed as a straight man and saved her from a knight in shining armor. Misadventures followed. He earned the Reverend honorific to officiate her wedding.
