Dingdong Dantes conveyed a heartfelt greeting to his wife, Marian Rivera, on their ninth wedding anniversary.

On his Instagram, Dingdong posted a photo from their wedding, accompanied by a sentimental message to Marian.

“It has been a crazy, hectic year for us, as we were both busy with our work—having less time for ourselves,” his post began.

Dingdong shared his sentiments about working with his reel-turned-real partner in their recent movie, Rewind, their official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2023.

“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 wrote.

He continued, “Being able to tell the story of John and Mary is a gift. Sharing it successfully with millions of people fulfills a mission. Accomplishing this mission alongside you, my wife, is a rare privilege, one that I believe comes once in a lifetime. I am genuinely grateful for this extraordinary experience, which will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Dingdong also referred to Marian as the “best mom, wife, friend, and leading lady.”

“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.”

Concluding his message, Dingdong greeted Marian, “Happy 9th. Lundagin mo pa, Beybe!”
