No, the marriage is 'registered', i.e. they've completed the civil marriage. For various reasons people in Japan tend to get married legally fairly quickly after their engagement, and then get around to having the party/public ceremony much later.

He fell in love with her at first sight when they met in 2012, introduced by a friend, and she thought "An awfully good looking guy" - it developed at once into a close relation. He wanted to propose to her when he reached his personal height of j3 in Natsu, but postponed it because of makekoshi. Then after kachikoshi in Nagoya he proposed to her at the senshuraku party. Both are born on the 18th and thus they decided to register the marriage on Sep. 18th, the wedding reception is planned for Feb. 17th. It was delayed till today because Kyokutaisei's father fell ill. The 3 dress wedding reception of Kyokutaisei and his wife Yoshie in a hotel in Tokyo had about 450 guests - and a speech from Hakuho. o o o o o o Not just Kyokutaisei was in tears after the letter by his late mother was read, congratulations to his marriage - written in 2002, knowing that she would die soon - his father had kept it hidden from everybody for 15 years for this occasion. o with his father o Edited June 20, 2018 by Akinomaki 4 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today was the reception of Seiro and his wife ガンツムル・ハリウム (Gantumur Halium - or something completely different) - both 29, as usual in a hotel in Tokyo.

Kintamayama 45,116 Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Nishikigi is marrying a woman seven years his elder and quite tall- 1.70 meters. They registered on September 25th. They have been going out for six and a half years. She came to a heya party and caught his eye. They dated, visiting amusement parks and the aquarium thingy. "I would like us to gambarize together from here on. I will aim for Yokozuna, just like every other rikishi.." he said. He proposed to her this year on Valentine's Day. He held the press conference alone and did not bring a picture of her. "She is adamant to be left out of the limelight.." he explainerd. After being badgered by the press for a photo, he decided to consult with her. After 30 minutes of emails, she still did not allow it. She calls him "Mr. Bear" and "Grandpa" and cooks well. "Everything she makes is tasty. I decided to marry her since she has been very supportive and since I met her I have reached sekitorihood. I was able to gambarize with her around," he added. He is in a position to face the Yokozunae this coming basho. "I'm aiming for a kinboshi. I'd like to surprise the joi rikishi with my efforts and show them that I have become stronger.." he added more. When he proposed, he gave her a necklace instead of a ring. "I didn't know her ring size.. It wasn't a terribly expensive one" he muttered, but did buy her a ring in the end. She is not pregnant. "We are not planning on kids at the moment but I'd like to have them eventually. When that happens I'd like him to play baseball. Sumo is a scary sport with major injuries," he added even further. This was one of the strangest rikishi marriage press conferences ever.. With a portrait of Momoko-san: Edited October 30, 2018 by Kintamayama 5 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naganoyama 5,911 Posted October 29, 2018 It's not surprising that it was one of the strangest rikishi marriage press conferences ever, given that he is marrying the Wicked Witch of the West. He couldn't bring a picture of her because she's actually much more evil-looking than the portrait, which was much more flattering than you can imagine by looking at it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
