Matthew Gilmour is from Aberdeen Scotland, and according to People Magazine, “After the story broke about her engagement and the media became increasingly invasive, Elizabeth recognized it was going to be impossible to have a traditional wedding devoid of distractions and unusual challenges outside of her control.”
