After 21 years, Star Trek actor George Takei has made an honest man out of his partner, Brad Altman. The couple were married today in a Buddhist ceremony on the grounds of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. People reports:
Nearly 200 of the couple's friends attended the event, which began as a kimono-clad koto player plucked out tunes on the ancient Japanese stringed instrument. Afterward, the couple sipped sake from red lacquer cups, then said their vows to one another while standing within a circle of yellow rose petals.
The couple were attended by Takei's former Star Trek co-stars Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig. They "flashed the "live long and prosper" hand sign to photographers and friends" as they were led to the reception by a bagpiper.
Congratulations, George and Brad! May you have many more happy years together!
