Narrative:
The route was entered into the FMS (normal company routing). However, due to a line of thunderstorms along our route, a different route was filed by our dispatch. Because of unusual circumstances surrounding our preflight preparation, the routing was not verified by the crew members involved. Once airborne, ATC inquired to verify our route. We read back the company routing from the dispatch release. The mistake was made because the original route was typed into the FMS.
