Grier Williford became a friend and companion to Jessica and her son, Matthew, after Terrell, Jessica’s first husband and Grier’s golfing buddy, passed away in 2018. In the following years, Grier took Jessica and Matthew on outings to the Pitt Street Bridge and Sullivan’s Island. During a longer excursion to Washington, DC, Grier proposed at the US Capitol. Jessica and Grier were married at small ceremony at Grace Church Cathedral, where the bride was escorted down the aisle by Matthew, now three years old and soon to be a big brother.
