Noah and Mehana both grew up in Missoula, attending the same middle school and high school (Meadow Hill Middle School and Sentinel High School). They connected at the Missoula County Fair in August of 2019, running into each other at the entrance. Noah was a few months out of high school, and Mehana was going into her senior year. Both Noah and Mehana were waiting to meet up with their friends, and Noah asked Mehana to go on the zipper ride with him while they were waiting. Mehana agreed and the rest of the night turned into a date. Two days later, on August 12, Noah took Mehana on their first official date. Noah proposed to Mehana on a sailboat off the coast of Santorini, Greece, on June 3rd, 2024.
