Wedding Day (Virginia)

Wedding Reception (Utah)

Our Wedding

Marshall and Naomi met at one of Naomi's favorite places on earth - Pioneer Bible camp. Marshall came up for a few weekends during the summer of 2023 to help with maintenance projects and serve meals to the staff. On the last weekend he was up there, he found Naomi before leaving and asked for her number to go hiking sometime. She was ecstatic! She had only ever heard amazing things about this Parish guy.&nbsp;Sadly, a hike never happened in Utah, but thankfully, Marshall was still in school in Lynchburg, about an hour from where Naomi still lived in Roanoke, Virginia. Fortheir first date, they went kayaking. They learned how to setup the origami kayaks Marshall had checked out from the Liberty University Library, and paddled around Smith Mtn. Lake for an hour or 2. After it was over and theywere back at their cars to leave, they parted with a nice handshake and no further comment on if they would see each other again.&nbsp;5 days later, Naomi received a text from Marshall asking her on another date sometime, and she said yes. A few dates later (with no more handshakes), Marshall asked Naomi to be his girlfriend as they sat in a tree at a park, half way between Roanoke and Lynchburg, where they often met. And thus began the memory and friendship building adventures that bring us to today.&nbsp;Marshall asked Naomi to marry him on August 16th, 2025, while on a backpacking trip in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. The trip had come up spontaneously, and Marshall really wanted to propose in the beautiful wind river range, but the ring wasn’t scheduled to come in for another 10 days. Unexpectedly, it came in the daybefore leaving for the trip. On a rock in the water of an alpine lake, Marshall got on one knee and asked Naomi to marry him. With her heart pounding and face hurting from smiling so wide, she said "Yes!". The ring was put on her finger by both of their shaky hands before Marshall asked to finally kiss her for the first time now that she was his fiancé.&nbsp;We look forward to celebrating the unity of our two lives together with our friends and family, and to the amazing work God will continue to do as we start life as one.

Q + A

Flying into Roanoke airport will be the closest, but probably more expensive. Other places to fly into include Charlottesville VA, Washington DC, Charlotte NC, and Raleigh Durham NC.
