The start of this love story begins at the infamous 611 Harvest House in College Station, Texas. In 2020, Karista started a new job at a feed store where she met Alissa, which inevitably sparked a great friendship. As the two became closer, Alissa began to invite Karista to the 611 Harvest Drive get-togethers. This house was home to Alissa’s boyfriend, Joseph, and their close-knit group of friends. Victor, although he didn’t live there, was a frequent visitor, often making it feel like his second home. When Karista started attending the get-togethers, Victor couldn’t help but notice her, and the two quickly struck up a friendship. As time went on, their connection grew stronger, culminating in their official relationship starting in December 2020. Over the next few years, they faced life’s early challenges together— navigating a period of long distance, graduating from college and starting their adult lives, and even raising their two adorable dogs, Nova and Dakota. Victor proposed to Karista on September 8th, 2024, on Surfside Beach in Freeport, Texas, marking the beginning of the next exciting chapter in their love story.
