Bride
Naomi is the kind of person who finds humor in almost anything — whether it’s a bad joke or a spontaneous adventure. If you’re lucky enough to be around her, you’ll likely end up laughing with her (even if she’s laughing at herself). A graduate of James Madison University with a degree in Hospitality Management, Naomi works as a Special Events Venue Manager at Luray Caverns, creating unforgettable experiences and managing the details with grace (even when things don’t go as planned). When she’s not working, she loves painting, cross-stitching, practicing yoga, and traveling — always seeking new adventures. Naomi is also actively involved in her community, serving on the Rileyville Ruritan Club and the Rileyville Recreation Center Board, and loves giving back to her hometown. Colin feels incredibly lucky to marry someone who makes every day feel like a celebration with her warmth, light, and infectious joy.
Groom
Colin is the kind of person who can bring a smile to your face in any situation. Whether he’s cracking a goofy joke or calmly taking on a challenge, his laid-back yet lighthearted nature makes him incredibly easy to be around. A proud graduate of Tennessee Tech with a degree in Computer Science, Colin now works as a Senior Automation Analyst for Chesterfield County, where he excels at finding efficient solutions to complex problems. But Colin is much more than just a problem solver in the workplace. He’s also a true creative at heart. Whether it’s diving into a new video game, working on a DIY project, or cooking up a new recipe in the kitchen, Colin loves to express his creativity in his free time. His calm demeanor and goofy sense of humor keep those around him relaxed, even when things get busy. Naomi is beyond excited to marry someone who brings so much joy, creativity, and fun into her life — and who shares her love for Steelers football, adventures, and making a beautiful life together.
Est. May 2, 2020
It all started on May 2, 2020, when Colin and Naomi met the way all epic love stories begin: in a Minecraft minigame. From pixelated adventures to real-life ones, their friendship quickly turned into something special! Since officially becoming a couple on May 2, 2023, they’ve spent their days traveling, hiking, mini golfing, bowling, playing board games and pretending they’re not competitive (they are). Whether they’re exploring a new trail or enjoying relaxing moments at home, life together has been full of laughs, love, and just the right amount of chaos. Now they’re getting married — because apparently, building a life in Minecraft wasn’t enough. 💍
