I mean, it's one thing to be sad that you're alone, but why the hell would you want to get married so young?
i can't even imagine being married that young. i'm 22 now and still don't feel like i could be.
I think it just looks pretty.
"In January 2012, Smart became engaged to Matthew Gilmour, a Scotland native, after a courtship of one year. The couple met while doing mission work in Paris and had planned to marry in the summer of 2012 but moved up the date due to media privacy concerns. They married on February 18, 2012, in a private ceremony in the Laie Hawaii Temple."
