"Ang kasal ni Marian Rivera at ni Dingdong Dantes ang pinaka pinag-usapan, pinakasumikat, pinakabumongga. Pinagsama mo naman kasi ang hari at ang reyna ng GMA," said Rommel Gonzales, Entertainment writer for PEP.
 
Jason Magbanua, who's known for his amazing same-day edit wedding videos, also believed that DongYan's wedding deserved the spot.
 
"Hindi ako makaalala ng isang kasal ng isang artista na sobrang dinumog, na sobrang naka-open sa public at makikita mo 'yung adoration ng fans niya. Para sa 'kin, bongga 'yon. Nai-share niya 'yung moment para roon sa mga tao na 'to," said Magbanua.
 
He added, "It had all the elements—the beautiful bride, the handsome groom, the dashing groom in his Ducati, political people in the ceremony. [They] also have showbiz royalty in that wedding as well. Really, [it's a] perfect mix."
