George Takei and partner Brad Altman

It appears that George Takei, the actor who played Mr. Sulu on the original Star Trek series, is marrying his longtime partner Brad Altman. Guess who’s invited to the wedding?

The best man:
Chekov

The matron of honor:
Uhura

An honored guest:
Spock

Guess who’s not invited?
Kirk

Takei and Altman plan to marry Sept. 14 in the Democracy Forum at the Japanese National Museum in Los Angeles.

Walter Koenig, who played Chekov in “Star Trek,” will be the best man and Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, will be the matron of honor. Castmate Leonard Nimoy will be among the 200 guests, but probably not William Shatner. Takei has said Shatner didn’t treat him and most of the cast very well.

Too bad. I’m sure Shatner could’ve gotten them a great deal on hotels!
