Love story of Elizabeth Smart and Matthew Gilmour
Elizabeth Smart met Matthew Gilmour back in 2009. She has a happy family life with her husband Matthew and her daughter Chloe who recently turned two years old(2017).
According to the reports, the duo first crossed paths in Paris during a Mormon mission trip. Matthew is a native of Aberdeen, Scotland. He first made his impression on Elizabeth as he didn’t recognize Smart as the kidnapping victim from the headlines.
In 2012, he said to PEOPLE:
“I got to know her as she truly is,”
Moreover, he added:
“The thing that attracted me the most to her — at the beginning and now — is how confident she is, especially considering everything she has been through,”
The friendship slowly started to turn into the blossoms of love. Afterward, the relationship started taking the way of love as Smart went to Scotland to visit Gilmour and he later visited the Smart family in Salt Lake City.

“I just said very simply, ‘Elizabeth Ann Smart, will you marry me?’ . And then I wasn’t nervous.”
Moreover, he also added:
“They’ve been very happy together. We’re just thrilled. We’re looking forward to her moving on to this next stage and leading a very happy life.”
Though they planned their wedding ceremony for a wedding in Salt Lake, they changed the location to somewhere with special resonance for Smart.
They tied the knot in February 2012 on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii. It is the same place where she went with her family in the wake of her kidnapping rescue.
At the time, she told to PEOPLE:
“Oahu is a very special place for me, very different than what I was used to. I guess you could say it was kind of a refuge.”
