Elliott Jackson
Best Man
Meet Elliott! Elliott and I have been friends since college, where we quickly bonded over a shared love of philosophical musings and explorations of the unknown. Our tendency toward chaos has certainly led us into some memorable situations, but what stands out most is Elliott’s jovial spirit and deep sense of spirituality—both of which have been a constant source of inspiration to me.
Michael Klakamp
Groomsman
Meet Michael! I’ve known Michael since high school, when we navigated the less-than-ideal rhythms of life in a small coastal North Carolina town, often surrounded by a pretty shallow social scene. We grew up together, stuck by each other, and always had one another’s backs. Through it all, we’ve made the most of every moment—creating incredible memories along the way.
David Dombo
Groomsman
Meet David! D.J. was my neighbor in our freshman dorm during our first year of college, and we became friends almost immediately. We spent that time exploring the Appalachian Mountains—hiking, camping, and chasing whatever adventure we could find. Whenever we headed home for breaks, I was always welcomed into his parents’ house and made to feel like part of the family.
Kevin Ellison
Groomsman
Meet Kevin! Kevin and I have been there for each other since college, lifting one another up through tough times and sharing some incredible experiences along the way. Whether it’s going to music festivals, watching his boat races, or simply sitting around a bonfire talking until the sun comes up, I can always count on him for a great time.
Jeremy Byrd
Groomsman
Meet Jeremy! Jeremy and I met in college, and our friendship certainly got off to a raucous start. Beyond our campus shenanigans, I quickly realized he’s one of the most loyal people you could have on your side. I can always count on him for support—or even a random call to hear updates on his latest botanical and gardening endeavors.
