Jamaican businessman Dr David Panton recently tied the knot with Heather Fischer, a human rights expert and a former White House official in the first Donald Trump Administration.

The happy couple got hitched in a wedding ceremony in Negril, Jamaica on April 16. Dr Panton, who is the chairman of Panton Equity Partners, posted a photo of himself and his beautiful bride on social media the following day. The photo was simply captioned: “She said, “I do!”.”

The post was flooded with hundreds of comments, most congratulating the lovely couple on their nuptials.

One social media user said: “It is good to leave the past behind and to press forward with positive energy. Bless the Spirit!”

Another said: “Congratulations David. May you enjoy many years of love and happiness.”

Panton, a former Jamaica Labour Party senator, was previously married to Miss World 1993 and former Minister of Youth in the Jamaican Government, Lisa Hanna with whom he shares a son Alexander Panton, born in 2001. He divorced Hanna in 2004, and subsequently had a brief relationship with Miss Universe 1998, attorney Wendy Fitzwilliam; they had a son Ailan Panton, born in 2006.

Dr Panton has a long list of accomplishments. He was the youngest member of his undergraduate class at Princeton University at the age of 20. Then, at Harvard Law School, he was one of two black presidents in the history of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. The other was President Barack Obama. He is also among the youngest PhD holders from Oxford University, and he is also one of the co-founders of Generation 2000.

His blushing bride, Heather Fischer is a Liberty University alumna. She currently serves on the executive leadership team for Thomson Reuters Special Services, where she advises on the intersection of human rights and national security, serving as a brand ambassador.

Fischer was selected as a 2023 USA Fellow by the Eisenhower Fellowship, which enabled her to travel to Malaysia and Thailand over the summer to research forced labor.
