Who doesn’t love Debbie Allen? Fans watch her every Thursday night on Grey’s Anatomy as Jackson’s badass mom, and now they’re watching her celebrate her 32nd wedding anniversary with husband Norm Nixon, compliments of Instagram. 

To capture the moment, Allen and Nixon chartered a yacht in Marina del Rey and dubbed the celebration the #WhiteParty. Friends and family, including Wesley Snipes and her Debbie Allen Dance Academy crew, danced and drank the night away as the couple proudly recognized “32 years of lovin’!!!” 

Just one look at the adorable footage and you’ll see the ABC star, and 2016 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood honoree, was fully committed to reminding her man exactly what he had at home!

My man.❤️
