Smart made worldwide headlines in 2002, when at age 14, she was kidnapped from her family home. She was rescued from her captors, who'd subjected her to sexual assault almost daily, nine months later.
Smart, now a college senior, and Gilmour, wed in front of a small group of family and close friends at the Laie Hawaii Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the island of Oahu.
