Two top GMA Network executives said "yes" to the invitation to be primary sponsors in the upcoming Royal Wedding of the Kapuso Royal Couple.
 
Earlier today, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera personally delivered their gift of a quill, together with an invitation to their wedding to both Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon (FLG) and President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr. (JRD) in the GMA Network Center.
 
“Binigyan namin sila ng invitation, pero ito’y para sa kanila lang kung tatanggapin nila maging mga ninong namin sila para gabayan kami sa pagsasama namin… Nag-yes naman sila sa amin,” Marian said.
 
For the Primetime King and Queen, it is only fitting that they ask FLG and JRD to be their ninongs because the two executives serve as their ‘dads’ in the industry.
 
“Dalawa sila sa mga kino-consider namin na talagang tatay dito sa industriya,” Marian added.
 
The couple feels blessed to get the blessing of their two bosses and father figures.
 
“Mahalaga 'yung nakuha namin 'yung blessing nila bilang sabi nga ni Yan, sila 'yung mga tatay namin dito sa GMA at fortunately, umoo sila so masaya po ‘tong araw [na ito] para sa ‘min,” Dingdong shared.
 
Last Sunday, Dingdong and Marian held a luncheon for the first batch of their principal sponsors.
 
For the actress, it is imperative to meet with each of them to personally ask if they can take part in the special occasion on December 30 and in guiding them in their marriage.
 
“Dapat [nakakausap lahat ng kukuning godparents] kasi ang kasal ay isang mahalagang pangyayari sa buhay naming dalawa kaya gusto naming lahat ng kabilang dito ay mahalaga sa amin at gagabayan kami sa [aming] pagsasama,” she noted.
