Grace impulsively accepts Leo's proposal
In the episode "Marry Me a Little, Marry Me a Little More", Grace (Debra Messing) impulsively accepts her boyfriend Leo's (Harry Connick Jr.) marriage proposal, despite only knowing each other for a short time.

Grace and Leo's wedding marks the first time in television history that a Jewish protagonist married within the faith. Grace is Jewish, and Leo is a Jewish doctor who works for Doctors Without Borders. They met in a park, which is why Leo suggests they get married in one.
Upon arriving at Will's apartment, Grace and Leo reveal to their friends, Will, Jack, and Karen, that they have gotten married. Will, Grace's gay best friend, is uneasy about the whole idea. However, Leo and Grace assure Will that they will have a wedding reception in his honour, which improves his relationship with the couple.
During the reception, Grace learns many unsettling details about Leo, including that his first name is Marvin. This makes Grace uneasy, and she leaves the reception. Leo follows her, and they run into Katie, who tells them that their marriage is not valid as the judge who performed the ceremony was not licensed in New York. Grace tells Leo that she needs time to think about their relationship, and he returns to the reception to announce their marriage is not legitimate.
