Marian Rivera Supporters Say She Is Luckier Than Heart Evangelista As She's Marrying A Certified 'Binata' Not A 'Separado'

MARIAN RIVERA looks luminously beautiful at the presscon of “My Big Bossing”. You wouldn’t think she’s neck deep in being so busy preparing for her coming wedding to Dingdong Dantes.

“Nakakapagod ang lahat, pero okay lang, kaya pa naman,” she says. “But I’ve done some advanced tapings na for my show, ‘Marian’, para hindi ko na problemahin ngayong December ang dance numbers na ginagawa ko roon. Tutulong pa rin ako sa promo ng ‘My Big Bossing’. I will definitely attend our premiere night on December 22 and join the Parade of Stars on December 23. Bukod dito, may cameo role rin ako sa ‘Kubot: Aswang Chronicles’ ni Dong, so tutulong din ako sa promo noon.”

In “My Big Bossing”, Marian plays a TV executive producer who is at odds with Vic, the host of the show is producing. “Magkaiba kasi ang paniniwala namin about Ryzza Mae Dizon na may third eye kaya lagi kaming nagtatalo. But eventually, we end up with each other.”

How is it working with Vic? “We’ve worked before in ‘Enteng Kabisote’ but I’m paired with his son, Oyo, not him. Nagkakasama rin kami sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ but now lang kami nagkapareha at napakasarap niyang katrabaho dahil maalaga sa mga kasama niya.”

Right after the “My Big Bossing” presscon, Marian met Dingdong and they went to a special send-off party their fans are hosting for them at AFP Theatre. There was a total of 19 fans clubs of their DongYan love team who organized it. So far, five bridal showers have already been given to Marian, hosted by various friends. On December 3, there will be a Despedida de Soltera and pre-nuptial party for them to be held on board a yacht.

“Habang lumalapit ang araw ng aming kasal, mas lalong nararagdagan ang excitement ko,” says Marian. “It’s such a great feeling, kinikilig ako. And I really want to thank my groom, kasi talagang hindi ako pinagastos ni Dong kahit isang kusing for all the wedding expenses. Nagbo-volunteer akong mag-share, pero ayaw niya talaga. He shouldered everything. At ang sabi niya, part ng makukuha naming gifts from our sponsors, ise-share namin sa ilang charity organizations and foundations para kahit nagsisimula pa lamang ang pagsasama namin bilang official na mag-asawa, makakatulong na kami agad sa kapwa.”

We’re sure Marian will be the most beautiful bride on her wedding day. As for the bride wars involving her and Heart Evangelista, she’d rather not make any comment at all. “Sa positive na lang tayo. Tigilan na yung pagkukumparahan.”

But as one Marian diehard says, there’s really no comparison as Marian is marrying a certified “binata” who’s one of the most eligible bachelors in the country and was once declared as one the sexiest men in Asia no less. Whereas Heart is marrying a separated man with two kids who will make her officially a “madrasta”.
