The couple met through mutual friends before going out to their favorite college bar. As Christian sat in her friend's living room, she noticed a dark-haired and handsome guy walk through her friend's door. She hoped he would sit by her! As it turns out, the dark-haired and handsome guy DID sit by Christian, and he introduced himself as Jacob (with a really long last name that started with a B). Eventually, he completely won her over with his charm, humor, and maybe some tequila shots. Three years later, the two have graduated college, moved to two different cities together, and now reside in Evans, Georgia. They enjoy traveling, but have learned that some of the best memories are the small moments like cooking in the kitchen. They are so excited to finally share the last name Balestracci (also known as the really long last name that starts with a B).

After a year and a half of dating, Jacob decided to ask Christian to marry him. She had been begging him to take her to the pumpkin patch and he thought that would be the perfect time to pop the question. As they pulled up, they noticed a huge banner in front. It said, "Sorry, we are closed. We will open next season." How could this be? It was pumpkin season! Still, the couple laughed it off and decided to take a picture as proof that they tried to go to the pumpkin patch. What happened next was even more of a surprise....Jake got down on one knee! Christian said "yes" and walked away with something even better than the best pumpkin in the patch! Please join in the celebration of their love!
