George and Brad get hitched!

George Takei and his partner Brad Altman got their marriage license in West Hollywood today. The couple plan to be formally married in September at
the Japanese-American Museum in downtown Los Angeles.

"It feels glorious," said Takei, who played Sulu on "Star Trek," holding his license.

"I am the happiest guy in the world," Altman said. "I get to be married to George Takei."

"Now it has meaning," Takei explained to reporters. "We are going to be legitimately married in California. . . it's going to be the only day like this in our lives and it is the only day like this in the history of America."

He told reporters and a swelling crowd outside the West Hollywood city auditorium "may equality live long and prosper."
