Elizabeth Marie Daly and William Dennis Gersh were married Oct. 6 at the Boston Public Library. The Rev. Enid Kessler, an interfaith minister ordained by the New Seminary, officiated, with assistance from Rabbi Stuart A. Paris.
The bride and groom, both 30, met at Emerson College, from which each graduated.
Mrs. Gersh is a senior manager of program planning, scheduling and acquisitions at the Oprah Winfrey Network in West Hollywood, Calif. She received an M.B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
She is the daughter of Marlene C. Lauze-Daly and Mark R. Daly of Framingham, Mass.

The groom is an agent focusing on directors, talent, producers and production companies in nonscripted television at the Gersh Agency, a talent and literary agency in Beverly Hills, Calif., of which Bob Gersh, his father, is the president. The agency was founded in the 1940s by the groom’s paternal grandfather, Phil Gersh, who represented actors including Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The groom is a trustee of Landmark School, a private school in Beverly, Mass., specializing in language-based learning disabilities and serving students in grades two to 12.
He is the son of Linda G. Gersh and Mr. Gersh of Beverly Hills. The groom’s mother is a residential real estate developer in Los Angeles.
