Comments about ‘People magazine to publish Elizabeth Smart wedding photos’

That is nice. Good Luck Elizabeth!

So much for a private wedding. The publicity must not have bothered them very much.

I'd say she deserves a happily ever after as much an anyone I can think of.
Good luck and best wishes to both.

Unlike "Reader" from Sandy I would say the family's approach makes perfectly good sense. Ms. Smart lives in a bubble not of her making as to these types of things, so to give the scoop to one media outlet who can publicize it to the world, as it were, is very wise. This will save wear and tear on the family from a hoarde of media outlets trying for weeks to gather and offer details or a new slant. The approach the family followed will negate much of that. Class act and wise strategy. I have dealt with the media a great deal over the years. While I can appreciate that "Reader" has the perspective of one perhaps not having much media experience, I hold to the opinion that the family did it just right.

Yeah, I always thought they wanted to forget the past and move on. Evidently, they still want to draw some attention to the issue. It's certainly their right to do so because Elizabeth is a hero in my mind.

I can guarantee you that if that was me, I'd choose to live below the radar. To each her own.

Good for Elizabeth. Now let her live in privacy, please.

always good to hear good news

SSo glad for her. May she be happy.

I know they want privacy, but we all kind of feel like she is part of our family. We cried when she was kidnapped, we prayed daily for her safety and return, and we sympathized with her family. We carried her poster as we traveled the country and then we rejoyced when she was found.

So Elizabeth, we all are so proud of you and forgive us if we want to see you in your beautiful wedding dress.

Much happiness for you and for your Scottish hubby.

I've been to the Polynesian Cultural Center and fondly remember the beauty of the area as well as the spectacular scenery on the drive from Honolulu. They could not have chosen a more relaxing, uplifting location.

Good choice and great job Elizabeth. I hope you have a happy marriage. For privacy I'd have chosen either the Vernal or Monticello temples. The media would not have wanted to drive to either place.

I will be anxiously awaiting my issue of People.

Happy for them, wish them all the best. She deserves it!

I think that the people who don't think that she will get a private wedding missed reading the article. She is already married. The photos are of what happened.

So happy for you, Mr. and Mrs. Gilmour! We wish you a long and happy life together!

Reader: Um, the article says they were married IN THE TEMPLE. That's pretty darn private, maybe 25 or 30 people can fit in a large sealing room max. I was a bit confused by the way the article opened, however. the groom in a kilt? Oh, that's just for the "beach pictures" afterwards, not the "wedding" (sealing) itself. Curious to see that odd combination, BTW.

I agree about being preemptive here being a good move. Can you imagine if they di this and din't invite ANY media? No matter how polite the media and public would try to be, there'd be a lot of upset people about being tricked out of being in on the big day. I'm sure they'll be fine and we won't be bothered too much by the couple anymore, or vice versa. Until she's expecting.......LOL
