OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Mary Fallin is in Ireland this week to attend the wedding of her daughter. Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz says Fallin left for Ireland on Sunday and will return to Oklahoma on Saturday. Weintz says the governor's security detail is traveling with her. Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb is the acting governor during Fallin's absence. Weintz says there are no official responsibilities scheduled that Lamb would have to perform. Twenty-four-year-old Christina Fallin is marrying 32-year-old Matt Bacon of Oklahoma City. Weintz described the event as a "small destination wedding" for a few family members and close friends.
Fallin has two children from a previous marriage and four step-children from her husband, attorney Wade Christensen.
