Griffin and Griselda met in December 2019 after matching on Hinge. Griselda had just moved back to the SD area after six years in LA; Griffin rarely left his cozy beach neighborhood. The couple credits the dating app because their paths may not have otherwise crossed. Griselda knew it was more than something casual when Griffin brought her back a Sasquatch refrigerator magnet from Portland; Griffin started falling in love after hearing Griselda use the word "pleonasm" in a sentence, which previously he had only heard himself use. The first attempt Griffin made to ask Griselda to be his girlfriend was unsuccessful because she didn't understand what he was asking. Probably because he was using too many words and mumbling. He took another stab at it a month later, after her 29th birthday, because apparently he wanted to celebrate her birthday, Valentine's Day, and their anniversary in the same week. Since then, many happy moments have filled their relationship: Alki received a dog sister, Phoebe; spending a week trying Van life in National Parks; living through a pandemic; moving in together; and finally getting engaged in Tulum. We invite you now to come celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in our relationship.
