Jemima and Daniel Carter are now officially husband and wife. The couple professed their love and said “I do” on Oct. 25 in front of family and friends at New Shiloh Baptist Church, located in Baltimore City. 

The big day was made possible by a chance encounter in the summer of 2019, when Jemima took notice of Daniel while he was dining in a restaurant with relatives. Too shy to speak, Jemima instead inquired about the young man who caught her eye, and soon first contact was made, according to information posted by the couple on The Knot.

By August 2019 the pair had enjoyed their first date in the real world, after multiple weeks of communicating via social media platforms.  Finally face to face, the couple learned more about each other over dinner at the Woodmont Grill in Bethesda, Md. 

And then, the pandemic began. With the world closing around them, the two began to communicate however they could. Whether it was through text message, social media or phone calls, Jemima and Daniel knew they needed to stick out the global crisis- together. 

The couple soon found themselves meeting up in parking lots to spend time together–from Chick Fil A to Rita’s Italian Ice or Coldstone Creamery. They grew closer even as they sat in their separate cars to safely enjoy each other’s company as coronavirus caused international havoc. 

Then came the day- the September day that Daniel would make his move. The two were vacationing together in Las Vegas. 

“They were preparing to head back to Baltimore after celebrating Daniel’s 35th birthday. Hours before they were scheduled to board the plane, Daniel said that his stomach was upset. He went to the lobby of their hotel to get a ginger ale,” reads the couple’s love story, posted on The Knot. “Close to an hour went by, and Jemima began to get a bit concerned. He eventually returned without the ginger ale but he did have the blessing of Jemima’s father, after calling him to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage.” 

On bended knee, Daniel asked to have and to hold Jemima until the end of time. Her answer, of course, was yes. Though they had departed for Las Vegas as girlfriend and boyfriend- they returned to Charm City betrothed to each other. Now, husband and wife, the two look forward to spending the rest of their lives as one.
