A family spokesman said the Utah woman who was kidnapped at knifepoint at age 14 and held captive for nine months married Matthew Gilmour on Oahu’s North Shore.

The couple wed at the Laie Hawaii Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in front of a small group of family members, spokesman Chris Thomas said in a statement. The group then celebrated at a private reception and luau.
“The bride and groom were beaming as they left the LDS Temple,” Thomas said.
Mazel Tov to the new bride! We are happy she was able to find happiness after such tragedy.
