Griffin and Cecily met in May of 2011, when Cecily and her mom were on a walk down Oakwild Lane, a country road around the corner from their home. Griffin was parked on the same road, which he called "The Spot," and being the friendly guy he is, immediately said hello when he saw Cecily's Ursuline High School sweatshirt (the two both attended Ursuline/Cardinal Newman High School). After messaging her on Facebook, the two quickly became best friends, and remained close throughout high school and college. Finally, after many years of will they or won't they, the two officially started dating in August of 2018. Fast forward to April 2021, and the two packed up and moved cross-country to New York City together. Griffin proposed at Bethseda Fountain in Central Park on December 15, 2021 (best day ever), in front of both of their families.
