Their love story began with a simple “Happy Birthday” message on Facebook in 2011. Although neither could have known it at the time, that small exchange would become the beginning of something life changing. Over the years, as they grew and lived separate lives, they continued to find their way back into each other’s path. In February 2025, Tyrod proposed at Hotel Esencia in Riviera Maya. After a relaxed day spent at the spa and by the pool, Bianka expected nothing more than a quiet dinner together. Instead, she arrived at the beach to find no tables or chairs, just the two of them and the ocean. In that moment, she knew. The intimate surprise felt like a perfect reflection of their relationship and the journey that had brought them there.

SPLENDID had always felt like a dream for Bianka, who had loved Galia Lahav long before she was engaged. During a weekend of dress shopping with her mother in Miami, Galia Lahav became their third and final stop. They arrived without an appointment and asked the team if they could be fit in, and it was there that Bianka found her gown. She was immediately drawn to the silhouette, which surprised her, but felt completely like her. The lace, high neckline, and matching custom bolero also reflected her Spanish heritage and were especially meaningful to her family. With such a short timeline, she was nervous about whether the gown and custom bolero could be completed and arrive from Tel Aviv in time, but the Galia Lahav team made the process feel seamless. On her wedding day, finally putting on SPLENDID brought every emotion together. Although the style was not what everyone expected her to choose, the reaction was full of excitement, and Bianka felt more beautiful than ever.
