Our Story

The Wedding Website of Alleyne Elvir Bendeck and Michael Averin

A Love Story Written by God

I Have Found The One Whom My Soul Loves. Song of Solomon 3:4

Michael and Alleyne first crossed paths in a database class at Liberty University in the fall of 2022. At the time, their story began quietly, with no grand spark, just brief moments and familiar faces passing by as their lives moved along the same campus paths. It wasn’t until the spring of 2024 that everything changed. Michael reached out, they reconnected, and what once felt like coincidence quickly became something undeniable. That summer, he asked Alleyne to be his girlfriend, and their story truly began to unfold. From that moment on, their relationship became a beautiful rhythm of everyday joy, going on dates, exploring new places, and discovering not only the world around them, but each other. Whether it was simple moments or new adventures, each day brought them closer, deepening their love and building a foundation rooted in friendship, laughter, and shared dreams. Above all, God has been the author and center of their story. He has faithfully guided Michael and Alleyne, shaping their hearts and growing their love in ways they could have never imagined. After two years of small, meaningful adventures, they now step into the greatest one yet, the sacred and lifelong journey of marriage.
