Vanessa and Connor’s story starts in fall of 2010. It was the perfect day for the Seton boys and girls soccer teams to hop on a bus and head up north to kick some Oneonta Hornets’ butt. It was on that bus that Vanessa and Connor were introduced, sparking a sweet seventh-grade romance. Though their middle school relationship didn't last, they remained friends throughout their years at Seton. As their senior year came to a close, fate brought them back together, and they began dating in June 2016. Over the next eight years, they created countless memories, from cozy Sundays spent watching football to adventures in beloved destinations like Atlantis, Las Vegas, and Bethany Beach. In October 2024, Connor proposed to Vanessa, and they are thrilled to celebrate their enduring love with family and friends on July 26, 2025!
