( CNN ) -- Elizabeth Smart , the Utah woman abducted as a teenager and held captive for months , tied the knot at a private ceremony in Hawaii over the weekend . `` Yes , Elizabeth did get married today and we are all thrilled , '' said Smart 's father , Ed , on Saturday . Smart and Matthew Gilmour exchanged vows Saturday on Oahu 's North Shore before family and friends , CNN affiliate KSL said , citing a family spokesman . They plan to honeymoon at an undisclosed location , according to Chris Thomas , the spokesman . `` Elizabeth 's desire was for what most women want â€ ” to celebrate her nuptials in a private wedding with family and close friends , '' Thomas told the affiliate . The pair got engaged last month and planned to get married in the summer , but moved up the wedding because of the media attention , the spokesman said . Gilmour , a native of Scotland , met his bride while she was doing missionary work in France . Smart attends Brigham Young University and also works for ABC News . Smart made headlines in 2002 when she was kidnapped from her Salt Lake home at age 14 and held captive for nine months . Her kidnapping stunned the nation , and the media covered the monthslong search to find her . Her abductor , Brian David Mitchell , sexually abused her during her time in captivity , and is serving life in prison for the kidnapping and assault . Authorities rescued Smart when she , her captor and his wife were spotted wandering in Sandy , Utah , in March 2003 . Smart described the ordeal as `` my nine months in hell '' during court testimony two years ago . CNN 's Leslie Tripp and Elizabeth Chmurak contributed to this report .
