Ed Smart called his future son-in-law a “fine young man,” and said he is pleased for his daughter and hopes she has a happy life.

The dream wedding comes 10 years after the Utah girl was snatched from her home in 2002 by Brian David Mitchell at age 14 and held captive for nine months. Mitchell is currently serving a life sentence for kidnap and sexual assalt.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Elizabeth spoke at the Salt Lake City Rotary Club last December about her harrowing experiences at the hands of the former street preacher.
