Former President George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara attended a
wedding a few days ago, and it made national news. According to The Washington Post,
the elder Bushes attended the wedding of Bonnie Clement and Helen
Thorgalsen, held at Kennebunkport, Maine. The two lesbians, co-owners of
a general store in neighboring Kennebunk, were married in an outdoor
celebration attended by family and friends. The 41st President of the
United States was present, along with the former First Lady. Bonnie
Clement told The Washington Post, “Who would be best to
acknowledge the importance of our wedding as our friends and as the
former leader of the free world? When they agreed to do so we just felt
that it was the next acknowledgement of being ‘real and normal.’”
As it turns out, President Bush did not merely attend the wedding. He
also served as an official witness, signing the legal documents for the
ceremony and the Maine wedding license. Under a photograph with the
former president the couple added the words, “Getting our marriage
license witnessed!” Continue at Al Mohler
