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.
