While Griffin was playing golf with a longtime mutual friend, escaping quarantine to get outside, they started talking as guys do about their love lives - or, at the time, lack thereof. It was then when Colin suggested that Griffin meet Liesl. That very night, Liesl and Griffin met for the first time for drinks at Uncorked in New Canaan. Thanks to the lingering unknown of Covid and quarantining, Liesl and Griffin kept their circles small which opened the door to several dates over a few weeks. It was not long until Griffin, nervously, asked Liesl to be his girlfriend. Just two days after their 5 year anniversary when Griffin asked Liesl to be his girlfriend, they will take each other's hands in marriage!
