SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota's only member of the U.S. House is now known as Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin.

The Democrat married former Texas Rep. Max Sandlin on Saturday at First Lutheran Church in Brookings among friends and family.

The two plan to live in Brookings when they are not in Washington. Sandlin, who was defeated in a 2004 re-election bid, is a lobbyist for Fleishman-Hillard, a Washington, D.C., public relations and government relations firm.

Sandlin, 54, was a member of the U.S. House for eight years.

Herseth and Sandlin plan to honeymoon in the Caribbean, where she said they will to do some sea kayaking and mountain biking. The House will not be in session that week.

Herseth announced the engagement at her 36th birthday party in December.
