Her third gift-giving party (this is a series so just keep counting) last Sunday, October 19, was the most star-studded to date. Mostly Kapuso celebrities were present  -- Glaiza de Castro, Sheena Halili, Andrea Bautista, Rochelle Pangilinan, Bettina Carlos, LJ Reyes, Louise delos Reyes, Katrina Halili, Krystal Reyes, Sarah Lahbati and "Unang Hirit” segment host Luane Dy.

Kapamilya actresses Angelica Panganiban and Ai Ai delas Alas were also there, as well as John “Sweet” Lapus, Ayen Munji-Laurel and Rita Avila.

Midi dress by Stella McCartney

Marian’s best friend Roxee B (formerly known as Roxanne Barcelo) and wedding planner Teena Barretto organized the bridal shower.

“Sa lahat ng kaibigan kong dumating salamat nakakataba ng puso kung paano ninyo ako pinapahalagahan at minamahal lalo na yung mga sinulat nyo sa papel kung sino ako sa buhay ninyo haaaaay di matatawan (sic) ang mga kaibigan tulad nyo salamat sa pagiging tapat at sa pag mamahal hanggang sa dulo mahal ko kayo,” she said on Instagram, with the official hashtag #3rdbridalshowerniyan.

The GMA primetime queen looked fresh in her midi floral dress by Stella McCartney. The English fashion designer is the daughter of Beatles member Sir Paul McCartney and American photographer and animal rights activist Linda McCartney.

Surprise from sponsors

Marian's first two bridal showers were held in September. The actress treated her family and closest friends to a Disneyland shower in Hong Kong where her mother, grandmother, actress Ana Feleo, comedian Boobay and talent manager Perry Lansigan were present.

The second, held at a shopping a mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, was a surprise from her sponsors. The bride-to-be received 23 gifts from various companies that participated in the surprise public bridal shower.

Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes will tie the knot on December 30 at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City.

Meanwhile, the would-be groom shrugged off a prediction that the said date is not a good day to get married. Dingdong said the Lord would guide him and his bride on that day.
