Star Trek vet George Takei and partner Brad Altman have set a wedding date, and they're beaming in a few former Trek costars for the occasion.

The wedding party may look familiar: Takei tells People that the best man will be Walter Koenig, who played Ensign Chekov, while the matron of honor will be Nichelle Nichols — aka Lt. Uhura. Leonard Nimoy and his wife, meanwhile, have scored a spot on the guest list. (Is Captain Kirk being left out here? No surprise, if you follow the backstage tales....))

Takei and Altman announced their engagement following the recent California ruling that made gay marriage legal. The pair has been together for 21 years. Upon their announcement, Takei called the marriage ruling "simply exquisite." He and Altman plan to marry Sept. 14. — Anna Dimond

This is great, but FYI it's Nichelle Nichols, not Michelle.

I want to know if his colleagues on The Howard Stern show will be there considering the show is responsible for his resurgence in popularity in the last few years. If it falls around a vacation week, then I can't imagine them not being there.

Dynamo1, this may be hard to believe [or not], but Rosie's line was NOT a typo. That's how she types on her site. Her posts are famously funny on ohnotheydidnt more for the errors than the content.

Congrats, Mr Takei & Mr. Altman! Wish the rest of the nation would move into the 21st century along with California, Massachusetts, Great Britain, Canada, etc. Your 21years together is quite a statement on its own. I am very happy for you.
