Happy Day. Tokyo, Japan. December 2014. 

My father and I visited Meiji Jingu on a Sunday and were fortunate enough to catch a few Shinto wedding processions. The procession is led by a priest, two shrine maidens, followed by the couple and their guests. The bride typically wears a white kimono and hood, while the groom is in a black dress robe. Looks a bit more comfortable than a white gown and penguin suit to me.
