It all began in September 2019, when a mutual friend introduced them at the races. Among the roar of engines and the energy of the crowd, something quiet but unmistakable sparked. Storm was immediately captivated by Colin’s eyes, her favorite shade of blue and impossible to ignore. And Colin? He thought Storm was absolutely adorable. There was an instant connection, but at the time, neither of them could have guessed just how important that moment would become. After the races, Colin decided to make a move and added Storm on Snapchat. To his surprise, she blocked him… not once, but twice! Her defense? “I didn’t even know him!” she laughed. It was a rocky start, but as fate would have it, their story was just beginning.

Not long after, Colin transferred to Canandaigua schools and, in a twist of perfect timing, landed in the very same science class as Storm, her all-time favorite subject. With every lab experiment and group project, their conversations grew more natural, their friendship deepened, and those initial sparks began to reignite, this time with more certainty.

Then, on January 27, 2020, Storm made a bold move and she asked Colin to be her boyfriend. Colin’s answer came without hesitation: “Absolutely yes!” To celebrate, they went on their first official date to see the school’s production of Mamma Mia! It was a night full of laughter, singing, and the kind of magic that only comes from being with the right person at the right time.

Then the world changed. COVID hit, and like so many others, they were forced apart. But even with the physical distance, their bond only grew stronger. They stayed connected with daily texts, endless FaceTimes, and heartfelt conversations that carried them through the uncertainty. By July, when the world slowly started reopening, they were more excited than ever to be reunited.

That summer was one they’ll never forget. Nearly every weekend was spent swimming at Colin’s house, soaking up the sunshine and building memories that would become the foundation of something truly special. From cannonballs in the pool to sitting by the fire, it became clear they weren’t just having fun; they were falling in love.

It didn’t take long for them to realize they were more than just high school sweethearts. They were soulmates. As the years passed, their connection deepened, shaped by laughter, resilience, and a growing understanding of what it truly means to be a team.

Now, years later, their love continues to flourish. Whether they’re spending time at the races, shopping, catching a movie, or simply relaxing at home, Colin and Storm cherish every moment they share. Through every season of life, they’ve remained each other’s biggest supporters and best friends.

And the rest? Well, it’s a beautiful history in the making – one filled with love, laughter, and a lifetime of adventures still to come…
