George "Sulu" Takei has revealed his plans to wed his longtime companion -- but his former "Star Trek" co-star, William Shatner, will not be a part of it.

Takei told AP Radio that when he weds Brad Altman on Sept. 14, Walter Koenig, who played Chekhov in "Star Trek," will be the best man and Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, will be the matron of honor. Leonard "Spock" Nimoy is also invited, but Shatner, who played Captain Kirk, is not.

Takei said that he was working out at a running club more than two decades ago when he spotted the man he now plans to marry.

In his first joint radio interview with his husband-to-be, Takei told AP Radio that Altman was the best looking guy in the club with a "lean, tightly muscled" body. Takei says he had his "eyes on him."

The pair, who have been living together for 21 years, will marry in Los Angeles.

Altman said that he proposed by getting down on one knee in their kitchen after hearing that the California Supreme Court had legalized gay marriage.

After the ceremony, Takei and Altman plan to honeymoon for a month in South America.

Takei announced the pending nuptials on his blog earlier this month.

"Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We've worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing," Takei wrote on his blog. "We've traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We've shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can't imagine life without him."

Takei, 71, played Sulu in the original "Star Trek" television series and in several "Star Trek" movies. He has also voiced a role for the animated hit film "Mulan" and most recently, has guest-starred in a recurring role on the hit television drama "Heroes."
