Star Trek's George Takei Marries Partner Brad Altman
After becoming the first person to purchase a same-sex marriage license in California, actor George Takei, who played Mr. Sulu on the original Star Trek TV series, married his longtime partner Brad Altman on Sunday.
George Takei and his longtime partner, Brad Altman, have agreed to live long and prosper together.Takei, 71, and Altman, 54, were married Sunday in a multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum that featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, a Japanese Koto harp and a bagpipe procession.
The couple, both clad in white dinner jackets with black pants, made a grand entrance to the tune of "One Singular Sensation" from the Broadway musical "A Chorus Line." They stepped into a circle of yellow roses and lilies, where they shared a traditional Japanese tea ceremony and were wed by a Buddhist priest.
The couple, who have been together for 21 years, wrote their own vows.
