The real reason Kirk wasn't invited to Sulu's wedding.

At every space-wedding Hikaru Sulu's been at, James Kirk's been there in the background...

...jealous of the attention the inscrutable Sulu gets at these events.

When Sulu realized his wedding was in the imminent future...

...Sulu remembered that Jim Kirk sometimes gets a little...

...carried away at the reception...and definitely taking the bloom off the celebration.

Nobody wants a tipsy, hallucinating Jim Kirk drunkenly staggering down the aisle and knocking over the floral bouquet.

So there and then, on that day, Sulu decided that whenever he got married, Kirk wouldn't get an invite.

It's an important lesson for all of us: don't invite your Captain to your wedding if he's just gonna get opussed.

You know, that made complete sense in the comic. Really.

Ha! Well, you have to admit that Kirk has darned ENTERTAINING hallucinations. ;-)

There's also a reason why William Shatner didn't attend George Takei's wedding. And it had nothing to do with banging Leonine babes or Penguin hallucinations...he's a wienie!

I knew it!

Kirk was a penguinphobe!

Well the story now, is that Takei DID send Shatner an invitation, but Shatner was too stupid to actually open the envelope.

Stupid Shatner.

For some reason, that strikes me as so true--
