Former Drake and Josh star Yvette Nicole Brown marries Anthony Davis
Yvette Nicole Brown and Anthony Davis got hitched over the weekend, a year after getting engaged.
Yvette Nicole Brown has married Anthony Davis.
The 53-year-old actress got engaged to the 47-year-old actor towards the end of last year, and the happy couple tied the knot at an "intimate, classy and fun" ceremony with just 200 guests on Saturday (14.12.24) at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.
Yvette's brother Paris had the honour of walking the former 'Drake and Josh' star down the aisle, as her father has Alzheimer's disease.
Both Yvette's mom and Anthony's parents are sadly no longer alive so their siblings "stood in".
Yvette told People: "Neither of our parents were able to be there in person.
"So 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."
The bride wore a dramatic lacy fishtail gown by Ines Di Santo and the groomed looked dapper in a custom brown velvet suit by Vinny's Custom Clothes, complete with cufflinks carrying a sweet message about meeting his life partner and one of the pale pink roses from Yvette’s bouquet.
Anthony gushed over Yvette: "If you can imagine having one wing in your life and trying to fly with one wing, you kind of go in circles.
Now that I've found my other wing, I can fly straight and land where I need to land."
The 'Community' star confessed that she was "nervous" about getting emotional in front of her guests.
She said: "The idea that all of our friends and family would be there, and the spotlight would be on us, it's nervous.
"I've been on sets before. I know that when they say 'action,' everybody gets quiet and people speak and you're performing in that instance in front of a lot of people. But that's a character, right?
"So the idea that I am not performing, these are real words and real emotions, and we're really in front of everybody we know and love, [that made me] nervous."
After the main event, the guests enjoyed cocktails and a meal of sea bass and short rib as a harp was played.
The new Mr and Mrs Davis later cut into a lemon and strawberry shortcake cake adorned with flowers.
Yvette hopes her wedding is an inspiration for those who doubt they will get married later in life.
She said: "Because I am of a certain age and I never thought it would happen for me, my wedding can be an inspirational moment."
