Gotta quick question concerning japanese weddings.  I really 
don't know much (read, anything) about the way it's done, but I'm 
assuming it's quite a different affair than the Western counterpart.   I've
got visions of some deeply ritualistic, spiritual, and slow act,  involving
kimonos and stuff, but I really don't know.
	It's for something I'm working on.
	The main question, though, is wether it's possible to have a 
'shotgun' japanese wedding - a real quick affair due to circumstances.

Actually, the Japanese sometimes do have western style weddings. 
Notice Akane and Ranma's attire in the last story.  Also, when Akane
made the sakura-mochi and it appeared that she and Ryoga were
destined for each other, Ryoga contemplated on whether to have a
Japanese wedding or a western wedding.  I'd assume, therefore, that its
possible to marry as quickly as one would in America.
