Access Hollywood - September 13, 2008 11:10 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- 'Til death do us part -- or live long and prosper? Either will do on Sunday, as George Takei, best known as Mr. Sulu on "Star Trek," prepares to marry his longtime partner, Brad Altman.

"We've been living in sin for the past 21 years," George, 71, told People. "It's high time we made it legitimate."

While George told People his mood was "nervous-ville," Brad, 54, sounded anything but.

"This is going to be the most exciting day of my life," he told the mag. "I'm going to be married. I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

The couple will reportedly wed Sunday evening in downtown Los Angeles.

While George has had a long career in film and television since his "Star Trek" days, including a recent role on "Heroes," he's still close with several of his "Trek" co-stars. Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, will serve as best man, and Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, is also in the wedding party.

The wedding will be the second high-profile nuptials for a same-sex couple in California since the state ruled that they had the right to marry. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and actress Portia De Rossi were wed in Beverly Hills last month.

    Being hateful is a sin too but I don't see that stopping all of you. I believe that my God is a loving God and that means He loves us how He made us. I think we'd be better off with a little less judgement and a LOT less hate.

    He made the comment that they've been living in sin for 21 years-time to make it legimate. The only thing that they made legit was the fact that they are throwing God's word back into His face. It states in 1 Corinthians 6:9 Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor homesexuals, nor sodomites, nor theives, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,nor extortioners will inhert the Ki

    who say you cant sinned? go ahead and sinned but be ready to accept the consequences. gay marriage is a sin and thats that. if you wanna live without this believe and still adhere to think of yourself as the so-called 21st century open-to-all-thinker where reasons rules, you are contributing to human cease being human. why level yourself to animals? go educate yourself for God sakes~

    Jebus also said that there were those present, as he was about to be beaned back up, who be ALIVE when he returned. Well, its been 2K years. Either there are some old living fossils or it was a lie, a sham...and if Jebus lied about that, you believe him about hell?? I got some ocean front property in Arizona for you....

    More silliness from that big book of myths called the bible hum? Well, that font of wisdom also said it was an abomination to eat shrimp or pork, wear clothing of blended fabrics and perfectly alright to stoen to death a rebellious kid. Do you sheeple practice this as well? No? What about slavery? Either follow ALL your damn book or none of it...
