Their wedding took place at the no-kill pet sanctuary of Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah. Their dog Mooshka served as the ring bearer.

The husband-wife duo has been together for seven years now. Jackson once revealed he never thought of getting married until he met Minoo. The pair doesn't share any children, but they share five indoor cats, four feral cats, three dogs, and two turtles.
