Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes remarks during a forum at the Newseum to mark the 30th anniversary of the first female Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's first term on the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, April 11, 2012.Mike Theiler—REUTERS by [Hannah Goldberg](https://time.com/author/hannah-goldberg/) ## Hannah Goldberg Jul 28, 2014 4:16 PM UTC Inviting celebrities to your wedding is nothing new—[Peyton Manning](http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/%5F/id/10074296/peyton-manning-denver-broncos-responds-wedding-invitation) and the [Obamas](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/05/obama-wedding-invite%5Fn%5F5455451.html) seem to be popular choices. But Staci Zaretsky, editor at Above the Law, took it to the next level by asking if Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would attend her nuptials. Justice Ginsburg—or as Zaretsky and her fiancé affectionately call her, [“The Notorious R.B.G.”](http://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/what-happens-when-you-invite-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-to-your-wedding/)— has long been an idol of Zaretsky. “My fiancé and I decided to invite everyone who had ever made an impact on our lives, big or small,” Zaretsky wrote in an [article](http://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/what-happens-when-you-invite-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-to-your-wedding/) for Above the Law. “To stay true to the way we invited all of our guests, I wanted to invite the justice who made the biggest impact on my life.” But when she sent a handwritten letter and wedding invitation to Ginsburg, she didn’t anticipate a response, let alone a personal note.  This is the letter Staci Zaretsky received from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg responding to Zaretsky's wedding invitation. Staci Zaretsky—Above the Law Ginsburg has surely made an impact on the lives of many as an advocate for women across the country. In the June 30 5-4 ruling of the [Supreme Court Hobby Lobby](http://time.com/2940577/supreme-court-hobby-lobby-contraception-obamacare/) case, she made her feelings clear: “Approving some religious claims while deeming others unworthy of accommodation could be ‘perceived as favoring one religion over another,’ the very ‘risk the \[Constitution’s\] Establishment Clause was designed to preclude” wrote the the Justice. Regardless of your stance on the _Hobby Lobby_ decision, there’s no arguing that Ginsburg is a powerful woman, and now, a most gracious wedding guest. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3045787/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-wedding-invite-rsvp/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3045787/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-wedding-invite-rsvp/"},"headline":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Responds Perfectly to Fan's Wedding Invite","datePublished":"2014-07-28T16:16:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:42:53.957Z","description":"The Notorious R.B.G. knows how to RSVP","url":"https://time.com/3045787/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-wedding-invite-rsvp/","keywords":["Living","Supreme Court","Ruth Bader Ginsburg","wedding","hobby lobby"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf6d74c59dcc2f7d5/69869d70169ab0e09f27a80b/rtr30m86.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Hannah Goldberg","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/hannah-goldberg/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf6d74c59dcc2f7d5/69869d70169ab0e09f27a80b/rtr30m86.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes remarks during a forum at the Newseum to mark the 30th anniversary of the first female Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's first term on the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, April 11, 2012.","caption":"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes remarks during a forum at the Newseum to mark the 30th anniversary of the first female Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's first term on the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, April 11, 2012.","creditText":"Mike Theiler—REUTERS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3045787/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-wedding-invite-rsvp/","name":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Responds Perfectly to Fan's Wedding Invite"}}]}] ```
