Dingdong Dantes now treads a new chapter of his life as he counts down the days to his wedding with fiancée Marian Rivera.
 
Featured on the cover of Mega Man this month, the country’s ultimate bachelor retells his story of love and promise in an in-depth and more personal way.
 
Dingdong confessed that his first proposal to Marian in Macau’s Butterfly Garden was an “epic fail.”
 
He said, “I will not accept the rest of my life knowing na hindi ko ginawa ‘yun.”
 
“I can do it over and over again and still have the same feeling. I think that’s one of the things I don’t want to get tired of. Renewing that feeling every time, maybe every decade [to reset] everything. It’s a great feeling. If you can, why not?,” he continued.
 
The Primetime King knelt down on his knees in front of Marian and their families at a studio full of fans last August to ask for her hand the second time around.
 
Marian said yes and he couldn’t be any happier.
 
“I’ve never been this excited,” he said.
 
“Personally, it is something na pinaka-aantay ko, something I look forward to. And I’m just happy that she has the same sentiments, that she sees it the same way,” he added.
 
Has he also given any thought on his wedding vows?
 
Dingdong said he hasn’t prepared anything but at the spur of the moment, he recited the phrases “grow individually in our chosen careers”, “what’s mine is yours” and “always eat together.”
 
“Right now, wala na akong mahihiling na iba,” he concluded with a smile.
