Our Wedding

They were introduced by a mutual friend of theirs (shout out Noah Thrush) in September of 2020 while both attending Messiah University. Noah asked Emily to go hammocking along the Yellow Breeches and do homework together after class. Emily couldn’t deny the offer even though she didn’t have a hammock. Emily sat in Noah’s hammock (which was actually his roommates because he didn’t have one either) and Noah kindly sat on the ground. After talking and getting to know each other for nearly 3 hours, they decided to hangout again later that week.

How They Met

Noah and Emily went on their official first date while walking around the city of Harrisburg. They continued to get to know each other by hanging out and texting … A LOT. On November 11, 2020 Noah called Emily and insisted on meeting up because he had an important question to ask her. He asked her to be his girlfriend, and of course, she said yes.

After 2 years of dating and growing in their relationship, Noah proposed to Emily on November 5th 2022. He planned a photo shoot for their 2 year anniversary. While posing for a picture Noah knelt down and asked Emily to spend the rest of her life with him.

The beginning of Forever 

Noah and Emily's relationship has continued to grow over their 3.5 years of dating. They enjoy hiking together, watching sports, playing pickleball, and hanging out with their friends and family. They are grateful for how God has blessed their relationship so far, and they can't wait to see what God has in store for them in the many years to come.

Noah was originally asked by the groom to be roommates going into freshman year at Messiah. Instead of saying yes or no, Noah decided to leave him on read and unfollow him on Instagram. This made it extremely awkward when the two Noahs lived across the hall from each other. The beef was soon squashed and Noah was given the nickname “Rush” by the groom. Rush and Noah became great friends over their four years at Messiah and he played a big part in introducing Noah to his family friend Emily. And well the rest is history
