It was in the middle of New Year’s Eve celebrations when Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera decided to give fans one more highlight before the year ended.
Following Dingdong and Marian’s third anniversary on December 30, Dingdong surprised his wife with a special video message on Facebook.
The video was a montage of their ongoing love story.
From clips of their prenuptial video to snaps of their current family life, it was a compilation of their greatest moments so far with each one punctuated by Dingdong’s heartfelt voiceover message for Marian. In case you haven't seen it, here it is (you are welcome):

Fans of the real-life couple were touched and moved by Dingdong’s gesture.
how I started my 2018: annoy my cat, pretend i'm sleeping when my mom asked me to help in the kitchen (got caught so I helped anyway), play runescape, play bap songs, annoy my siblings, cry over DongYan's anniversary video.

I will always remember how Marian prayed in Quiapo. Instead of losing hope or rebelling, she prayed that if Dingdong was the one, na ibigay na sa kanya?
And the rest is history...
Been crying after watching dingdong dantes’ tribute for his wife at their anniversary. That was beautifully made ????

Even non-fans of Dingdong and Marian felt love from their video.
Just one person is enough to keep someone going. Not a DongYan fan but Dingdong reassuring and screaming how he loves Marian is more than enough to prove she is one beautiful human being ??https://t.co/xChp7PiGTe
