The wedding I went to Tokyo for last week was awesome for various reasons, but the single most memorable moment was when the bride's dad, who was nice and drunk and exhausted by then, performed an eccentric inspirational dance at the end of the evening. I think the background dancers are the bride's friends.
The rest of the affair was very formal and to my knowledge this was the first time the father opened his mouth the entire evening.
If anyone was at the wedding and got video footage of this miraculous event, please email me.
Update: Someone sent me video and it is now on YouTube! It's here.
Too bad you didn't get some video :) Looks like a clip from a movie or something.

When I think Japanese wedding, I'm back at Meiji-Jingumae. That photo right there looks like fun. I mean hey, the guy has back-up dancers. You can't beat that for a father-in-law. (and brides friends)
