Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera celebrated 10 years of marriage in a heartfelt ceremony at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cubao in Quezon City, which happens to be the same church where they held their wedding.
Keeping the ceremony intimate and lowkey, Dantes and Rivera exchanged “I do’s” for the second time at the Cubao Cathedral in the presence of their kids Zia and Sixto, as seen on the Instagram Stories of the actor on Monday, Dec. 30.
The actress, who had her hair pulled back in a simple bun, looked radiant in her white body-hugging midi dress adorned with flower appliques and white-heeled pumps. She was emotional as she walked down the aisle while carrying a bouquet of white flowers.

The actor also looked back at his prenup shoot with Rivera, which was photographed by Mark Nicdao, in 2014. To recall, the photoshoot showed the couple exploring the sand dunes and interacting with camels in Dubai, with the “Balota” star wearing glamorous gowns in shades of pale yellow and purple and the actor donning a sleek tuxedo and a leather jacket.

“Walking down the aisle with our kids today, celebrating 10 beautiful years together. Love, God, and family forever! I will always cherish our journey with God, and our beautiful children, Zia and Sixto.

Before the vow-renewal ceremony, the couple didn’t make any announcement about their special day and simply said that they would hold an intimate celebration for their families.
The couple said “I do” in a grand wedding ceremony in December 2014, which first took place at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cubao. A wedding reception was then held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
Dantes and Rivera welcomed Maria Letizia, or Zia, in December 2015, and later, Jose Sixto IV, or Sixto, four years later.
Dubbed as DongYan, the celebrity couple is one of the most celebrated love teams in the Philippines, and have always been lauded for their chemistry even before getting together. They worked together on numerous projects including “Marimar,” “Dyesebel” and “Rewind.”
