My fiancee is currently on Medicaid and needs it for her plantar fasciitis. I am currently insured through the healthcare marketplace. She makes less than $10K a year, but I make $35K a year. Can she keep her benefits after we get married? We have no kids.

When the two of you get married, medicaid will consider combined household income, not just yours or her income individually. If the income puts you over the income limit for two, it could mean she'd lose her Medicaid. You'll have to check what the bracket is.
You could also check your employers insurance to see how much co-pay would be and if they'll cover her plantar fasciitis.
Medicaid is very strict about enforcing the requirements/qualifications for receiving benefits so due to the increase in total income I feel sure your fiancee would loose that free coverage.
