WASHINGTON (AP) - Star date 9-14-08. Mr. Sulu will go where no
"Star Trek" castmate has gone before. To his gay wedding. George
Takei (tuh-KAY') will tie the knot with his boyfriend Brad Altman
in Los Angeles Sunday. Nichelle Nichols -- who played Uhura -- will
be their "best lady" and Walter Koenig (KAY'-nihg) - who played
Chekhov -- will be the best man. William Shatner was invited, but
never replied, so he's not expected. Takei tells AP Radio "we are
overjoyed, ecstatic." For his part, Altman says he "can't live
without George." They've been together 21 years without a license,
but Takei says he's not worried that making it official will change
anything. He says they have "a tested and stable relationship."
After the ceremony, Takei and Altman will honeymoon in Argentina
and Peru.
