Republican Rep. Mary Bono, who took her late husband's seat in Congress, has married a Wyoming businessman nearly four years after Sonny Bono died in a skiing accident.
Bono and Glenn Baxley, an ex-minor league baseball player, exchanged vows Saturday in Palm Springs before more than 300 friends and family at Our Savior's Community Church.
"It's the happiest day of my life," Baxley told the Riverside Press-Enterprise as he and Bono left the church.
Guests included the Bonos' two children, Chianna and Chesare, and Sonny Bono's daughters Christy and Chastity. Also attending were Reps. Steve Buyer, R-Ind.; and Ken Calvert, David Dreier, Duncan Hunter and Jerry Lewis, all California Republicans.
Bono, 40, has served in Congress since winning a special election in April 1998. Baxley, 33, founded Wyoming West Designs, a clothing company that designs Cowboy Up and Cowgirl Up Western apparel.
