The "drunk raccoon dog thing" is one of my favorite Japanese spirits: a tanuki. :) They're fertility gods, which is why they have big... uhm, hearts.
And I can't believe you saw an actual traditional bride & groom! THAT is a lucky sighting! And what a pretty photo! (All your photos are pretty.) I hope I get to see your part of Japan someday!
I hope you get to see it too!
