DescriptionU.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye has gotten engaged.

The Hawai'i Democrat announced in a statement yesterday that he is engaged to Irene Hirano, the president and chief executive officer of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

The couple has set a May 24 wedding date for a private ceremony with immediate family at a church in Los Angeles.

"Irene is an extraordinary woman of grace, intelligence and accomplishment," Inouye said in a statement. "She is a rare gem in our society. Without question, I am a very fortunate and lucky man."

Inouye, 83, was widowed in March 2006 when his wife, Margaret "Maggie" Shinobu Awamura Inouye, passed away from complications of colon cancer. They had been married nearly 57 years and have a son, Daniel Ken Inouye Jr.
