Congratulations to newlyweds George Takei and Brad Altman...

George Takei best known as Sulu on "Star Trek," married his longtime partner Brad Altman on Sunday before 200 guests in a ceremony in the Democracy Forum of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

George and Brad - together 21 years already - were the first couple to receive a marriage license in the City of West Hollywood when California began issuing them to gay couples on June 17 but they took some time to plan their ceremony. Among the guests were best man Walter Koenig, (who played the role of Chekov on Star Trek), and "best lady" Nichelle Nichols (who played Uhura on Star Trek).

According to GLAADblog: Officiated by a Buddhist priest, the ceremony featured koto music and the san-san-kudo sake ritual. Takei, 71, and Altman, 54, exchanged matching turquoise wedding bands designed by Navajo silversmith Clyde Woody. The couple wrote their own vows. "I vow to care for you as you've cared for me ... and to love you as my husband and the only man in my life," Takei said as he held Altman's hands. The priest then pronounced them "spouses for life." A bagpiper led the newlyweds to their reception as family and friends greeted the couple with streamers and confetti.
