Do you really think a Japanese chick (or any girl for that matter) would be impressed by no money and quickie wedding in Vegas? I'm sure not all of them have extremely high standards, but if it was me I'm not sure if I'd want to marry someone who doesn't love me, is only using me to get into my country, has no university degree, doesn't want to spring for a proper wedding, doesn't have much money, doesn't have enough language fluency to get a decent job and is restricted in what work they can do by a spousal visa. Moral issues aside, it just doesn't seem practical for the woman involved - unless you're extremely rich and powerful.

EDIT: My point is - the wedding is the easy part, it's convincing someone to marry you that's hard!
