Elizabeth Jae Byrd and James Wolk: Marriage, Children
Elizabeth Jae Byrd married James Wolk in June 2015.
Ahead of the wedding at Firestone Winery at Crossroads Estate in Los Olivos, California, James shared with Harper’s Bazaar how he proposed to Elizabeth. We know that he originally had a meticulous plan that was already set in stone, so he did it the old-fashioned way. He and Elizabeth were walking their dogs, and James got down on one knee with a stunning cushion-cut diamond tucked into his waist.
Years later, the couple seemed to be able to be happy together.
Every year when the clock strikes their wedding anniversary, James is sure to come up with a message for Elizabeth like this:
“Happy anniversary to my beautiful bride. You make me so proud to be your husband and I am so smitten by you. Many, many, many more.”
She and her husband welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Charlie, in late January to early February 2017. The soon-to-be-married couple documented their growing baby bump on Instagram over the course of nine months.
The Wolk troupe of three girls also included a little girl.
As for their ‘how we met’ story — they met in 2013 at Camp Twitch and Shout. James, then a board member of the Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, was also volunteering at a camp in Winder, Georgia for kids with Tourette syndrome. Meanwhile, Elizabeth, a teacher, was also volunteering at the camp. They quickly became attracted to each other, exchanged contact information and the like, and the rest is history.
