1) Does Ranma get mad at/berate Ukyou and Shampoo for attacking
Akane at the wedding, or is this glossed over in the general 
chaos?

He's the one who takes the attack from Ukyou and Shampoo, and so gets
knocked out, and just sizzles. Then Happi turns up and tries to drink
the Nanniichuan wanter, think it's sake. Ranma gets involved in that
instead of yelling at Ukyou and Shampoo.

2) How does Konatsu attack people?  Especially when s/he is angry
beyond all reason.

He gets a cute little chi thingy behind him, then attacks with a sword...
which turns out to be made of wood or rubber or something instead of the
real sword. All of Konatsu's attacks are stupid things... like the Crimson
Hell Attack which is when he goes around kissing people, leaving lipstick
everywhere. Stuff like that.

3) What are wakes like in Japan?  Customs, etc.  Wakes, not 
funerals.  And would a wake be given if the death was in less
than honorable circumstances? (As I try desperately to avoid
giving everything away.)

They have a memorial service, before the body is cremated. It's somber
and everything. The picture of the person is on the shrine where insence
is burning and things. If it was less than honourable, I don't know.

4) Where is Ukyou's village where she grew up?  Is it a village?
City?  Town?  Stick in the road?  And how far is it from where
our heros are?

She's from... umm... go look on the Ranma Who's Who page and find out
which part of her accent it's from... Is it Kansai? I can't remember...
Since there are lots of shops, it looks like a town to me...

These will improve my fanfic immensely.  Sorry to all the people
who think we're discussing Ranma too much.

Good luck. ^_^

Kun-chan...
