Mnemonic

The ravine is still in きょうと though, because if you went outside the city your marriage wouldn't be legal. So you found a secluded, local ravine.

This ravine runs right through the middle of きょうと, though most people don't notice it. That makes it the best place for a secret wedding to a horned freak-husband.
