Wedding bells have finally rung for actress Yvette Nicole Brown at the age of 53, proving that love truly knows no age limit.
The Community star tied the knot with her longtime partner and close friend, Anthony Davis, on December 14, 2024, in an intimate ceremony at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California.
In an exclusive interview with the PEOPLE magazine the following day, Brown expressed her excitement to marry Anthony. Reflecting on the moment they exchanged vows, she said,
“I had no nerves when it came to marrying this man. He is the one for me. Absolutely”.
The couple’s big day was captured in heartwarming images first obtained by PEOPLE magazine. One notable photo shows Yvette walking down the aisle solo, as her father battles Alzheimer’s disease, and her mother passed away in 2021.
Emotionally speaking about the absence of her parents, the Emmy-nominated actress opened up about how her and Davis’ siblings stepped in to support her. Yvette shared,
“My brother and his sister stood in, so it was nice to walk down the aisle toward family and with family, even if it’s not the family we wish we had in those roles…”
Exclusive Details From The Couple’s Intimate Wedding
In their interview, the newlyweds shared more intimate details of their special day, including their guest list, which was made up of 200 close friends and family members.
For her big day, Brown wore a custom-made mermaid-style gown by renowned fashion designer Ines Di Santo. Reflecting on her bridal moment and seeing herself in the wedding gown, Yvette said,
“I get to have my bridal moment as well [as] my happy ending… it’s amazing. I saw the dress by Ines kind of peeking out of a rack, and I just put my hand on it and pulled it out… So it was found on a whim, almost. It was just meant to be”.
Concluding the interview with some inspiring words about finding love and marrying later in life, Brown said
“Because I am of a certain age I never thought it would happen for me. My wedding can be an inspirational moment. I feel like it’s important to make sure that the way God has blessed me, that I remind people that He is still in the blessing business, and can totally bless them as well”.
