We had many mutual friends in high school so we would be a parties together but never really talked or knew each other then. Fast forward to when we were 21 and reconnected at Nick’s Pub. We talked all night and Griffin finally asked for Mary’s number at the end of the night. We chatted the next day and had a group of friends that were going out that night so Griffin joined. The next week, Mary had to go to Mizzou for the day and Griffin said he would accompany her for the drive. There they had their “first date” according to Griffin at The Heidelburg. From there the rest was history!
