Not sure how you're googling, but try searching for Japanese Wedding
WWII or Japanese culture before wwii; I found plenty of stuff. You
might also look at Jim Breen's page
(http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/japanese.html#links_culture). I
didn't spend much time looking for what you want to know, but it might
be a good place to start.

In case you haven't figured it out, this probably isn't the best place
to ask such questions. Not that you won't get a good answer; there are
certainly people here who know exactly what you want to know. But the
problem is often one of timing.
