Viola Davis posts gushing tribute to husband Julius Tennon she celebrates their 17th wedding anniversary: ‘You have made my life sweeter’

Viola Davis posted a gushing tribute to her husband Julius Tennon as she celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. 

Davis, 54, tied the knot with Tennon in 2003, and it’s abundantly clear from her post that she has been head over heels in love with him since then.

Posting photos from their wedding day and vow renewal ceremony, Davis raved, ’17 years of marriage to the most beautiful man in the WORLD!!!! You have made my life sweeter and my heart bigger. I prayed for you and God said,”Yes! I have just the right person for you!!!!” Happy Anniversary my love… The best is yet to be.’

The first photo in the slideshow was from the couple’s wedding, and showed the bride handing her husband her small bouquet of roses.  

The second, undated photo showed the couple smiling from ear-to-ear as they sat close together for the camera. 

The third and final photo showed the duo at their vow renewal ceremony in 2016.

Davis and Tennon marked their 12 year wedding anniversary with a renewal ceremony on Valentine’s Day, and saw the likes of her How To Get Away With Murder co-stars Matt McGorry and Jack Falahee in attendance.

In the snap, the beaming couple posed beside their equally upbeat daughter Genesis.

Genesis, who was a baby when she was adopted by Davis and Tennon in 2011, wore a sparkling white dress and flowers in her hair. 

Tennon must certainly be feeling the love from his family right now.

Aww! The first one was written by their daughter, and included several sweet snaps of the father-daughter duo
