Former US President George HW Bush was an official witness at the same-sex wedding of two longtime friends.
Jim McGrath says Bush and his wife, Barbara, attended the ceremony in Maine on Saturday joining Bonnie Clement and Helen Thorgalsen, the ex-president's spokesman says.
He says they were there as private citizens and friends.
A photo posted on Sunday on Thorgalsen's Facebook page shows Bush signing the marriage licence as a witness.
She captioned the photo: "Getting our marriage license witnessed!" The 41st president has deep ties to the area and owns a compound in Kennebunkport.
