Green and Grant met in 2007 and became fast friends.
“When we met it wasn’t love at first sight — it was besties at first sight,” Grant wrote in an Instagram caption for their wedding anniversary. “We were friends for so long neither of us wanted to f— up the friendship that had healed something in both of us.”
“We met that night but didn’t have the opportunity to connect,” Green told PEOPLE. But their shared love of comics would soon bring them together again.
“Then we met each other a second time at Comic Con. We both had so much in common and kept running in to each other throughout the week,” he continued.
Green told theMy Plus Onepodcast that he got Grant’s number and invited her over to hang out casually, which she accepted.
“We ended up being friends for a year, but basically, I went to his apartment and never left,” Grant said on theMy Plus Onepodcast.
After a year of friendship, the comic-loving couple became official.

On May 1, 2010, Green and Grant tied the knot at a private vineyard in Northern California.
The wedding came just five months after he got down on one knee on New Year’s Eve in 2009.
“For a few months before I proposed, I was actually working on the ring with a jeweler that I knew,” Green told PEOPLE in 2010. “Eventually it just came down to us being in a very special place and me having the ring.”
Grant wasn’t expecting the proposal, she toldPEOPLE.
“I’m a very rational person, so in my head I was mathematically breaking it down, like maybe after a period of time it will be okay to move in together and then we can think about getting married.”
Grant wore a tiered Oscar de la Renta gown, while Green sported a custom suit from designer Dennis Kim. Filmmaker Craig Brewer, who worked with Grant on multiple projects, officiated at the wedding.
“When we finally took that leap we fell so fast and so hard it was a shock to everyone around us including each other,” Grant wrote on the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary, noting that they were “closer than ever.”
“You promised me a life of adventure and I promised you I wouldn’t kill you. Looks like we are both keeping up our end of the bargain … for now. 😈,” she continued, before wishing her “bestie” a happy anniversary.
“It helps that we literally laugh all the time,” Grant said of how their relationship works on theMy Plus Onepodcastin April 2023.
