Celebrities and artists often stay in the limelight, especially during special moments such as upcoming weddings or other spectacular events. Fans enjoy keeping track of what their idols are doing as they prepare for their special event.
This year, however, several stars expressed desire to get married or had already proposed to their partners and released pre-nup as well as bridal shower photos.
What makes this year so different is that there are two brides (Marian Rivera and Heart Evangelista) who are expected to have the grandest weddings in the near future – their wedding preparations have become the subject of what others perceive as bride war on Instagram as well as the war of their respective fans.
The Proposal and Engagement Rings
Dingdong Dantes was the first to propose…

The Soshal Network speculated that this Instagram photo was the root of the bride war:

After that, plenty of other photos were traded on the social media site. There were no captions that clearly make the post antagonistic of the other bride, yet fans believe the ‘answering’ post of the other actress makes it clear that a silent bride war is on-going.
Magazines and the media appear to be banking on this bride war, too, because aside from the Cosmo issues above, two magazines featured Heart and Marian in separate covers.

So, is there really an on-going rivalry between the two brides or are their fans just reading too much out of their Instagram posts? Hmmmmmm But if we were to choose the winner in this supposed bride war, who should we pick? Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
