HONOLULU - U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, the third most senior member of the Senate, married Irene Hirano in a small private ceremony in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 83-year-old Hawaii Democrat, dressed in a dark suit, and Hirano, who wore a white suit, were wed Saturday at All Saints' Episcopal Church, and then left for Carmel, Calif., for their honeymoon, according to a news release issued by the senator's office.

Inouye's son, Ken, was best man, and Jennifer Hirano served as her mother's maid of honor. The wedding ceremony was limited to members of the immediate families.

Irene Hirano is president and chief executive officer of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

"This is a glorious day for both Irene and I, as we start a new chapter in our lives," the senator was quoted as saying in the news release.

"Our work keeps us quite busy, but the time we spend together and even our chats on the phone give a special richness to our lives," he said. "I am most fortunate to have as my partner a beautiful, accomplished, intelligent, and worldly woman."

Inouye's wife of nearly 60 years, Margaret, died in 2006 of complications from colon cancer. He was first elected to the Senate in 1962.

On a personal issue it is quite enough for In No Way to be remarried at his age, good luck to them both.

My uncle W.H. will be ninety in September. He is dating a fifty three year old woman. He puts a smile on her face a couple of times a week.

And if one lasts for more than four hours, may he remember to call a doctor.

If one lasts for more than four hours, call the newspaper.

Uh, so his politics is sufficient reason to not even offer a wedding day well wish?

OK, being a war hero (in this case a Mdeal of Honor winner) may not be *enough* to cover political disagreement, but at the same time the merit of being a MoH winner / war hero stands on its own regardless of politics.

Yeah, Randy Cunningham is a Viet Nam Ace. It's just that he got caught. Inouye didn't. McCain almost did several years ago but somehow got out of it.

You gotta admit that the gur was awarded the MOH for his truly heroic WWII service.

Yeah, he is a waste of a Senator, but he was one heck of a fine Warrior for the United States. May his new bride force him to retire soon...
