Star Trek actor George Takei, 71, and his partner of 21 years Brad Altman, 54, obtained their marriage license yesterday. The pair were one of the first gay couples to receive a license in California.

After the gay marriage ban was lifted in California last month, Takei announced that he was overjoyed that he and Altman would finally be able to marry. Now it looks like they are getting one step closer to walking down the aisle.

Their big day is set for September 14th. After securing their license, George stated:

I started singing One Singular Sensation“

The ceremony will be held at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, witnessed by friends and family.

We featured the story of George and Brad when the marriage ban news first hit. We offer our very best wishes and congratulations to Takei and Altman.
