George Takei FIRST to Receive Marriage License in City of West Hollywood

All eyes were on California today, where the first full day marriage licenses were granted for gay couples. Actor George Takei, 71, and Brad Altman, 54, were the FIRST couple to ever receive their marriage license in the City of West Hollywood.

Takei and Altman will have a wedding ceremony in September in the Democracy Room of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

"This is a glorious California morning of making history," Takei said in a statement. "Now the love that Brad Altman and I have shared for each other for these last 21 years will be recognized and celebrated joyfully when we get married in September."

The couple have been together for 21 years and were invited to be part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony inviting the couples into West Hollywood Park to receive their license.

Many couples went on to have wedding services performed in the park under wedding gazebos, surrounded by music, flowers and passed decorated cupcakes.

By 5pm, the City of West Hollywood estimates that they will have processed 100 couples.
