"Before this trip ends, I'd like to thank the best husband I could ask for - from being my cheerleader to waterboy thank you for everything that you do for us. Thanks for creating memories with me so that we can look back at them together. Love you!" she said.

Filipinos all over the world did not miss a pageant moment not only to support the country's bet Beatrice Luigi Gomez but equally so, judge Marian as well.

It is not the Philippines' first time to send a judge to Miss Universe but Marian's stint was undoubtedly a cut above the rest.

She was glowing in every way and her beauty took the internet ablaze.

Dingdong meanwhile, despite staying on the sidelines, still drew massive attention online for being Marian's all-around everything.

Thanks to some behind-the-scenes footage, netizens saw how Dingdong became Marian's official photographer, errand boy, and at one moment, her "waterboy" which he did not all mind.

In many instances, Dingdong himself took live videos on Facebook while Filipino fans who watched the stream couldn't contain their happiness upon seeing one of the country's premier leading men in full service to his judge wife.

DongYan truly made the universe fall in love with their fairytale journey at the Miss Universe.
