Actress Viola Davis is set to renew her wedding vows later this year (16).

The How to Get Away with Murder star admits she has always dreamed of staging a second wedding ceremony because her big day in June, 2003 wasn't a classy affair, when she tied the knot with Julius Tennon.

The actress insists this summer's bash will be a relaxed ceremony, but there will be rules for guests.

"I'm going for a communal vibe," she told late night host James Corden on Wednesday (10Feb16). "I'm going for an atmosphere that is just loose. Family members are going to be there, by the way family members do not understand R.S.V.P., they want to invite... everybody and it's like you can only invite one person."

"We're going to have a specialty drink that everyone is going to drink," she adds. "We call it JuVi juice, it's mango juice and tequila, and that's a play on me and my husband's name, Julius and Viola."

"It kind of sounds very ghetto, but it's going to be very classy. Everybody's going to be dressed in white, we're going to have white floors, white flowers. My first wedding, so many people came... I want a little bit of class this time."

Viola turned 50 years old last August (15) and advancing in age has had a profound impact on her perspective of the world.
"Turning 50 is making me reflect on my life in a way that’s more compassionate and forgiving," she told AARP magazine previously. "I’m able to almost accept the old me."
