Hannah and Noah met at the University of Wisconsin River Falls in a way that feels almost too perfect to be real. Noah was a hockey player and Hannah was a Zamboni driver, which honestly sounds like the opening scene of a Hallmark movie. They started as friends, but over time they realized they shared the same energy and a deep understanding shaped by both having lost a parent. It didn’t take long for them to notice how naturally everything fit. A few months into dating, Noah began his professional hockey career with the Fort Wayne Komets, which meant doing long distance for a bit. Hannah made trips back and forth, proving early on that miles had nothing on them. During that time, she also brought home a puppy named Murphy to keep her company and add some joyful chaos to the quiet moments when they were apart. When Noah’s first season wrapped up, the real adventure began. They bounced from Woodbury to Fort Wayne to Burnsville, back to Fort Wayne, back to Woodbury and now Salt Lake City, all for hockey. It has truly been an experience of a lifetime, exploring new cities together, finding every hibachi restaurant within a twenty‑mile radius of each city, and enjoying the many activities Hannah always manages to book for the two of them. They like to joke that any couple who can move that many times together can handle pretty much anything. Being away from everyone else for long stretches only strengthened what they already knew: home isn’t a place, it’s a person. In June 2025, on a post-season trip to Marco Island, Noah asked Hannah to marry him on the beach. After she said yes, their friends and family appeared from behind the bushes in perfect rom com fashion, turning the moment into a celebration they will never forget. They haven’t stopped looking forward to their wedding day since. On September 19, 2026, they’ll finally say “I do” and start the next chapter as husband and wife…and with any luck, their next big move will just be down the aisle!
