“If you can imagine having one wing in your life and trying to fly with one wing, you kind of go in circles,” he said. “Now that I’ve found my other wing, I can fly straight and land where I need to land.”Their ceremony was a bit bitter sweet as there were some important people in the couple’s lives who were missing. Brown’s mother passed away in 2021 and Davis’ parents are also no longer living. Brown was walked down the aisle by her brother, Paris, who stepped in for their father who has Alzeihmer disease.“My brother and his sister stood in,” Brown continues, “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 melding of these families is what I’m super, super excited about.”RELATED: On Bended Knee: Kirk Franklin’s Son Caziah Gets EngagedDavis and Brown’s love affair started as just a friendship. He was married when they first met and they eventually lost touch. But Davis reached out to Brown after the passing of her mother in 2021, they reconnected, and their relationship progressed from there. He proposed to Brown by gifting her a lottery scratch-off that revealed the words: “Will you marry me?”“I thought I was going to win some money and I won a man!”Brown is now married at 53 years old, something she never thought would happen for her. The first time Brown ever donned a wedding gown was on the set of Drake and Josh in 2007 when her character, Helen, got married. Brown was moved to tears upon seeing herself in the white gown because she believed that would be the only time she’d ever be in a wedding dress. “To realize that all these years later I was wrong and that I get to have my bridal moment as well, and my happy ending as well, it’s amazing,” she said.

There’s no confusion. When someone is right for you, when someone is into you, when someone likes you, they’re coming for you in the way where you feel secure, you have peace about it,” she said, advising those who are looking for love to be patient and wait for their blessing. “Wait until you feel that peace. Wait until there’s no chaos and confusion.”RELATED: CeCe Winans Celebrates 40 Years Of Marriage With Photoshoot With Husband
