Celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary, Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes expressed their love and gratitude for each other through heartfelt Instagram posts.
Marian's message reflected on nine years of love, laughter, and endless gratitude, declaring Dingdong as her eternal blessing.
“Siyam na taon ng pagmamahal, tawanan, at walang katapusang pasasalamat. Happy Anniversary mahal, ikaw ang aking walang hanggang biyaya,” she wrote.
Dingdong, on the other hand, acknowledged the challenges they faced in the past year due to their busy schedules, but highlighted how working on their recent film project, #RewindMMFF, felt like going on a date every day and resulted in a beautiful outcome.
“It has been a crazy, hectic year for us, as we were both busy with our work—having less time for ourselves. That’s why when we started shooting #RewindMMFF, it felt like going on a date every single day, and the bonus became a beautiful film outcome,” he narrated.
“The One True Love” actor praised Marian for being an exceptional mother, wife, friend, and leading lady.
“I am genuinely grateful for this extraordinary experience, which will always hold a special place in my heart. On our wedding anniversary, I have nothing but gratitude to you, my Mary, for being the best mom, wife, friend, and leading lady anyone could ever ask for. Happy 9th. Lundagin mo pa, Beybe!” he said.
A rewind of their royal wedding
Looking back at their royal wedding, which took place on Dec. 30, 2014, at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City, Marian looked stunning in an off-shoulder lace gown adorned with Swarovski crystals and a pearl crown inspired by Queen Elizabeth's Cambridge tiara.
Dingdong looked dashing in a Randy Ortiz cream tuxedo set, complemented by a black bowtie.
Their love story began when they were cast together in the local version of the beloved Mexican telenovela "Marimar," and Dingdong popped the question to Marian not once, but twice - once during a romantic getaway in Macau and the other in a memorable live television moment.
