George Takei tied the knot with long time partner Brad Altman yesterday.

The actor, known for his role as Sulu on the Star Trek sci-fi TV series, was the first to pay $70 for a marriage license in West Hollywood in June after the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage.

The ceremony was held 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, matched in white jackets, black pants and bow ties, made their 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 in front of 200 guests, where they shared a traditional Japanese tea ceremony and were wed by a Buddhist priest.

Wedding guests included Star Trek stars Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols, who served as best man and best lady, Hollywood executives, local and national government officials and the couple’s relatives from around the world.

Nichols said: “I was fighting back tears but they came oozing out anyway. I’m so happy that they’re both able to legally proclaim their commitment to one another after spending the past 21 years together.”

The happy couple posed for photographs and Takei flashed the Star Trek “live long and prosper” hand signal.

Takei and Altman wrote their own wedding vows. Altman described Takei as his “life partner, significant other… now, I can add ‘my husband’ to the list of things I call you.”

Takei joked that his partner was an “organized, detail-obsessed, punctuality-driven control freak”, adding: “I’m easygoing with details, so we’re a good fit.”

Taking Altman’s hands in his, the actor said: “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.”

The reception took place in the grounds of the Japanese American National Museum, a reference to Takei’s heritage.

Takei said before the ceremony: “We have a relationship that’s been stronger and longer lived than some of our straight friends, and yet we were not equal. What this does is give us that dignity.”

The “Star Trek” star and his manager plan to honeymoon in Argentina and Peru.

Heroes, George Takei, announced that he has plans to marry his partner, Brad Altman, this summer. The news came after California’s Supreme Court decision to overturn it’s same-sex marriage ban.

Takei, 71, took to his official blog to announce this good news. Check out what he had to say:

“Our California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!

The California Supreme Court has ruled that all Californians have a fundamental right to marry the person he or she loves. Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We’ve worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing. We’ve traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We’ve shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can’t imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily.

With time, I know the opposition to same sex marriage, too, will be seen as an antique and discreditable part of our history. As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy remarked on same sex marriage, ‘Times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper, in fact, serve only to oppress.’

For now, Brad and I are enjoying the delicious dilemma of deciding where, when, and how we will be married. Marriage equality took a long time, but, like fine wine, its bouquet is simply exquisite.”

Congratulations to the happy couple! It will be interesting to see in the next couple of weeks how many of gay celebrities will make their wedding announcements. First, Ellen DeGeneres and now George Takei. Who will be next?
