It was a Chicago Summer, Saturday, July 8th 2017 in Lincoln Park to be exact. Shelby was out with her two friends, Khadija and Lindsay. They had intended to go to Halligan but the line was outrageous, so they wandered across the street to a random dive bar they never heard of, Kelsey's (RIP). Khadija went to the bar for a round of drinks, where a random man (now known as Kevin, Tommy's good friend and former co-worker) asked if her beers were frozen, which they were. They shared a few concerns regarding the frozen beers and went their separate ways. It was when Kevin returned to his table where Tommy sat where he said "we should go talk to those girls." When Tommy appeared behind Shelby, her face lit up and there use to be a Snapchat video to prove it, but we have been unsuccessful in retrieving so use your imagination. The night was filled with laughs, drinks, and dancing which concluded at Hopsmith (IYKYK). Shelby and Tommy went on their first date a week later to Happy Camper, where Shelby feels she talked a majority of the time and Tommy was quiet but full of smiles, which if you know them it is typically the opposite. They spent the following weeks inseparable and the rest is history! Lincoln Park will always have a special place in their hearts as it is where they met, where their first apartment is and where they see themselves continuing to grow as a family. BUT Milwaukee also has a special place in their hearts, as it is where Tommy grew up, where they grew as a couple over Holidays surrounded by family, friends and the ever famous Neighbs, and where they will soon become Husband and Wife.
