When Elizabeth Smart confirmed her engagement on “Good Morning America” last month, she said she was ready to start life with her fiance, 22-year-old Matthew Gilmour.
“I couldn’t be happier,” the 24-year-old said in a live appearance on “GMA” Feb. 1. “We met abroad, and I can’t wait to start my life with him.”
Little did anyone know, including the bride’s best friend, that the wait for the young couple to start their lives together would be less than one month.
Smart and Gilmour were married Saturday in Hawaii in a surprise and intimate ceremony at Laie Hawaii Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, attended only by close family and friends, her spokesman, Chris Thomas, said in a statement.
