Marian Rivera and Dindong Dantes' wedding video has been released online!

Marian and Dingdong posed with PNoy during their wedding
One of Marian and Dingdong's wedding videographers Mayad Studious just posted their shots of the much-talked about wedding of the celebrity power couple last Tuesday.

In the video's caption, Mayad writes, "Dingdong and Marian. Two names we hear, two faces we see so often. Two personalities brought together by show business, both then unaware that they would eventually be building a life outside of it. Beyond that were two souls, united by one prayer, one dream, one God. Two souls willing to jump cliffs for each other, regardless of height, of fear, as long as they had each other in sight, in hand. Two souls not just ready to brave a new journey, a new lifetime together, but also ready to love greatly, unconditionally. Dingdong and Marian, finally joining as one beautiful, blissful, blessed couple."

"As the New Year begins, Mayad presents the union of the royal couple of Philippine show business, Jose Sixto Dantes III (Dingdong Dantes) and Marian Gracia (Marian Rivera): Two souls. One royal wedding," it adds.

Marian Rivera and Dindong Dantes' wedding video has been released online!

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes with PNoy
One of Marian and Dingdong's wedding videographers Mayad Studios just posted their shots of the much-talked about wedding of the celebrity power couple on Youtube.

In the video's caption, Mayad wrote, "Dingdong and Marian. Two names we hear, two faces we see so often. Two personalities brought together by show business, both then unaware that they would eventually be building a life outside of it. Beyond that were two souls, united by one prayer, one dream, one God. Two souls willing to jump cliffs for each other, regardless of height, of fear, as long as they had each other in sight, in hand. Two souls not just ready to brave a new journey, a new lifetime together, but also ready to love greatly, unconditionally. Dingdong and Marian, finally joining as one beautiful, blissful, blessed couple."

"As the New Year begins, Mayad presents the union of the royal couple of Philippine show business, Jose Sixto Dantes III (Dingdong Dantes) and Marian Gracia (Marian Rivera): Two souls. One royal wedding," it continued.

Check out the said video of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dante's wedding below:
The video has been set private but someone has uploaded it on Facebook. You can watch it here:
