Exclusively caught up with Bill Clinton backstage at the First Annual World Leadership Awards -- hosted by our own Kevin Frazier -- in Atlanta on Friday night, and in a rare public comment on the subject of his daughter Chelsea's wedding, the former president told ET the nuptials were "wonderful."

Clinton was honored with the Service Legacy Award at the awards ceremony, which was thrown by music star Usher's New Look Foundation, a non-profit organization that strives to motivate and mobilize youth around the country to become corporate and community leaders.

Also on Friday, Clinton broke ground on a new, communal hurricane shelter in Haiti following his Clinton Foundation's $1 million pledge to improve hurricane safety. The nation's 42nd president also announced that, inspired by the Clinton Foundation's commitment, the American Red Cross is investing $1 million to develop additional emergency shelters, and will invest $4 million more as other shelter sites are identified.

One week ago, Clinton walked his daughter Chelsea down the aisle when she married longtime beau Marc Mezvinsky at the lavish Astor Courts estate in Rhinebeck, New York.
