'This has been a wonderful wedding experience for us and we were honored to have President and Mrs. Bush not only in attendance but also happy to sign our license,' Thorgalsen, who is with her wife on their honeymoon in London, told ABC News.

'As Nancy Sosa, our officiant, said, "God did not make a love that is wrong." If we can make a difference in the world with our wedding and marriage, we are thrilled,' she added.

Bush rep Jim McGrath confirmed to the Washington Post that the former president and his wife attended the wedding.



'They were private citizens attending a private ceremony for two friends,' he said.

TMZ reported that the Bushes gave the couple FEED bakeware as a wedding present. The FEED line, which is for sale at Target, was founded by Bush's granddaughter, Lauren. The profits go to help needy families in the U.S.

Many of Thorgalsen's friends commented on the photo of Bush and commended the former president for his official role in the couple's union.

'I think this picture should go national. Most definitely a historical moment!!!' wrote Katherine Lee Reece.



The couple posted this photo at Boston Logan International Airport on Monday with the caption: 'The beginning of another adventure!! See you in London!'

Steven Webb added, 'Awesome - not just for you, but for all the others waiting for the right to marry.'
