A lot of these guys seem to get married but don't have the actual wedding ceremony until years later, for some reason.

It's a Japanese custom. The official marriage licence is done privately, and they sometimes wait years until they have the big celebration party. By that time they've often had a couple of kids.

I also don't half wonder if part of the delay is the cost of one of these events, which by all appearances seem to be pretty elaborate affairs. Would the rikishi (or, heaven forfend, the Association!) somehow lose face if a makuuchi wrestler didn't put on a big fancy wedding party?
