The couple, who were both students at Wellesley College in Cambridge, told the BBC they were “delighted” by the outcome.
“We were very excited. We’re pretty close friends. I’ve got quite a few good close friends who are gay, so we were very supportive,” Mrs Smith said.
Ms Wright said: “I’m definitely glad it’s gone through, because I knew what it was all about,” adding she had never before experienced a public union like hers.

“It was very emotional and wonderful. It was incredible. It was wonderful.
“At the end of the day, a marriage like this isn’t ever going to happen; there’s just too many hurdles there.
“For us, this is going to be something special and we’re very proud that we’ve all been able to be part of the process to make it happen.”
