George Takei and his longtime partner, Brad Altman, were wed Sunday evening in a Buddhist ceremony in downtown Los Angeles.
"All I can remember is what the priest said," Takei told PEOPLE after the ceremony. "That this moment will never happen again. It's something to savor."
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.
A Scottish bagpiper led Takei, 71, and Altman, 54, to the reception on the grounds of the Japanese American National Museum. On the way, the couple, along with their maid of honor and best man (Takei's former Star Trek co-stars Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig) flashed the "live long and prosper" hand sign to photographers and friends.
"I was fighting back the tears," said Nichols, who played Uhura on the Star Trek series. "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."
I'M SO PLEASED GEORGE CAN HAVE THIS HAPPINESS. |

Ahh, common DOC, that's more cynical than even I get at times.
They've been together for over twenty years so I doubt that your claim has any validity.  |

| 21yrs is a long time to wait for permanency and stability in a relationship. It must be a relief to know that it's final. Relationships these days seem as expendable as toilet paper. I wish them a long and happy future together and the best of luck. |

Good news, and the best for the two of them.
This illustrates something I've learned from my LGBT friends. The false stereotype of them is that they're all hedonistic and only interested in sex. A 20 year committed relationship clearly demonstrates that the stereotype is completely wrong.
It's also the norm (based upon my friends). It took all these years for this to be done legally- when the church used to do it in or previous to Medieval times. |
