She doesn't say Kami tho, she says Kami-sama. Kami-sama is understood to refer to the individual. Its like the different being God and a god. Japan knows about non-Japanese concepts of God, and refer to their understanding of a God in Heaven as Kami-sama, they aren't oblivious. And for correctness, 'western concept' is also incorrect, they come directly from middle eastern areas or Asia.

This is entirely appropriate given the Japanese modern cultural practice of marrying at Christian churches, even if parties are unaffiliated with the belief.
