Story
It all started at Montes Taco & Tequila night. Tequila had given Shelby the liquid courage she needed to finally make her first move on Justin. She had kindly asked the bartender to put in a good word for her (all while Justin was only 2 seats away). The bartender says to Justin "You know Shelby, right?" to which he painfully responds, "Nope." A few margaritas later and it was like they had known each other their whole life. 5 years later they are still loving tacos and tequila and each other more than ever.
