Elizabeth Smart Save the Date

When she was just 14 years old, Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped, and spent the next nine months being sexually assaulted by her kidnapper, who forced her into a strange polygamist marriage.

Nine years later, Smart has made a remarkable recovery and travels the country speaking and motivating.

Oh, and she spent last weekend getting married to a Scotsman in Hawaii!
