Japanese marriages

Y'know, there's something that's always bothered me about mangas with weddings. Are weddings such a secretive thing in Japan that close family members, such as the children in case of remarriages like here, don't find out about it until the literal day off, or even after it's already happened? I keep reading it in these mangas, (usually) mom comes and is like, "I'm getting remarried!" Kids go "Cool! When?" "Tomorrow!" Eh????

According to the summary of this story, Yuuma comes home from his part-time job to hear from some rando dude that their parents got married. Like, when did that happen? That day, during his job? While he was working? I'd be so confused on so many levels. When did my mom meet someone new? When did it blossom into love? AND WHY THE F**K WASN'T I INVITED TO THE WEDDING??

A wedding, at least here in America, takes months of planning and is a huuuuge deal, even strangers on the street are hearing about it. Are they really just something not talked about or mentioned, at all, in Japan?
