George H.W Bush turns witness at lesbian wedding

George H.W Bush attended and served as a witness at the same-sex wedding of his friends Bonnie Clement and Helen Thorgalsen in Kennebunkport, Maine.

The 89-year old former President, who was an official witness at the lesbian wedding, was dressed in blue slacks, a tie and jacket and was pictured in his wheelchair signing documents at the couple's nuptials, the New York Daily News reported.

Bush spokesman Jim McGrath confirmed that the Republican and his wife, Barbara, attended the celebration.
