The couple met through a mutual friend. According to Liddicoat, it was not love at first sight as she was not impressed by Griffin’s “weird” fashion sense. He was wearing colourful socks with characters like Cookie Monster, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Scooby-Doo
“When I first met him, I thought he was a little weird. I was a little nervous, and I asked him why he was wearing girls’ socks. He had on those weird socks he always wears,” she said.
Notwithstanding, they became college sweethearts after Griffin’s humble nature won her over. Griffin proposed to her in 2010 in the presence of family and friends after a game against Kansas State. He reportedly serenaded her with songs he had written during her engagement party. They got married on July 6, 2013, at the Four Seasons in Denver, close to Liddicoat’s hometown of Boulder, Colorado. The wedding was well attended by both families, friends and NFL players DeAngelo Hall, Kirk Cousins, and Santana Moss.
