Takei, 71, and Altman, 54, were married on Sunday in a multicultural ceremony at the Japanese National Museum that featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, a Japanese Koto harp and a bagpipe procession.

The couple, together for 21 years, was the first to receive a marriage licence in West Hollywood when the state began granting licenses to gay couples on June 17.
