Love found its way through the twists and turns of fate for Joelle Gamble and her now-husband, Mr. Copeland. What started as a missed connection in 2019 blossomed into a beautiful love story that culminated in a magical wedding at the George Peabody Library in Baltimore.
Both Joelle and Mr. Copeland had moved to Washington in 2019, more focused on their professional lives than their dating apps. When they matched on Bumble, they didn’t recognize each other from a previous scotched date. However, fate had other plans, and they reconnected in 2021 via FaceTime during the pandemic.
Despite their shared history, Mr. Copeland sought advice from his former co-clerks on whether to bring up their past. Ultimately, they decided to let it go and focus on building their relationship. As time passed, Joelle eventually broached the subject, admitting her mistake, but by then, their bond was already strong.
Their love story continued to flourish, leading to a proposal on the Georgetown waterfront in March 2023. The couple knew they were meant to be together and tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at the George Peabody Library. The atmosphere was a nod to their shared love for fantasy, with music from iconic movie soundtracks and an excerpt from a Tolkien poem adding to the magical ambiance.
With 100 guests in attendance and the ceremony officiated by a Catholic priest, Joelle and Mr. Copeland’s wedding was a celebration of their unique love story. As they embark on this new chapter together, their journey serves as a reminder that love can truly conquer all obstacles.
