My fiancé and I want to get married in Japan. I'd like to know what legal issues we may come across. Do we get a marriage certificate here or there? Will the ceremony be acknowledged as official here? Any other potential problems we could expect? Where could I go in Canada to get this info if no one here can help me?

Here is a website. Best of luck on everything.
