Community star Yvette Nicole Brown, 53, marries Anthony Davis

Yvette Nicole Brown has tied the knot with Anthony Davis, one year after announcing their engagement.

The 53-year-old Community star wed Davis in what she described as an 'intimate, classy and fun' ceremony.

The couple said their vows in front of 200 guests at The Maybourne Beverly Hills on Saturday.

The actress told People that she had no qualms about going to the altar.

'I had no nerves when it came to marrying this man,' she gushed about her now-husband. 'He is the one for me. Absolutely.'

The bride was walked down the aisle by her brother Paris and she told the outlet it was the moment she most looked forward to.

Their father Omar is battling Alzheimer's and their mother Fran passed away in 2021.

Davis' parents are both deceased, 'so my brother and his sister stood in,' Brown said.

'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,' she said about the bittersweet arrangement.

However, Davis surprised Yvette by coordinating with her dad's care facility to have him attend the wedding.

'The melding of these families is what I'm super, super excited about,' the performer said about her new union.

For the special occasion, Brown wore an Ines Di Santo dress and cathedral veil. 

She accessorized with a Maria Elena headpiece and earrings styled by Nayri Kalayjian of Lovella Bridal.

'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,' the Hollywood vet recalled about the moment she spotted her gown.

'I said, "What about this one? Can I try this one on?" And it was absolutely the dress,' she shared.

She requested that a special touch be added — two customized butterflies to represent her and Davis' mothers. 'So it was found just on a whim, almost. It was just meant to be,' the star noted.

Guests were treated to signature cocktails and a dinner of sea bass and short rib.

Harpist Mariea Antoinette performed throughout the meal before attendees enjoyed a four-tiered lemon and strawberry shortcake from Cake Studio LA for dessert.

DJ Kacy 'Mister Wilson' Wilson provided additional music as well as live performers Leslie Odom Jr., Dr. Richard Schectman, and Deniece Williams.

There was also 360-degree photo booth for partygoers to snap pictures throughout the evening.

Yvette and Anthony initially crossed paths in their twenties. 

They reconnected in 2021 when Davis reached out following Brown's mother's death.

Brown shared how Davis proposed while guest hosting an episode of The View last year.

During a visit to her hometown in Ohio, he gave the actress a lottery ticket with a scratcher that said 'Will you marry me?'

She joked with the co-hosts, 'I thought I was going to win some money and I won a man!'

Yvette says she hopes to be a source of inspiration to older women who haven't yet found love.

She told People, 'I realized there's a way that I could have a wedding where I made it more about other people, in the sense that because I am of a certain age and 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.'
