Help!!! I Knew It Would Happen!!

You buy a fancy looking camera and then...........people assume you're a pro and then........... you get asked to do the wedding photos for the wife's nephew! Just found out. Wedding this weekend! Civil wedding in a posh hotel up north - so cannot even recce the place!

The good news is that they know I've never done a wedding before and are ok if things go a little pear shaped. However on the basis that I am a bit of a perfectionist, some assistance from my friends on this forum would not go amiss.

OK, I've got an E520, standard twin lens kit, FL36 flash, tripod, and remote release cable. Hopefully the weather will be ok and a lot of the shots can be taken outside. It's the inside shots that I need some help with.

Assuming the flash should not be used during the ceremony, any recommendations on camera settings for indoor shots? Presumably the shutter speed has to be reasonable fast to avoid movement blur. On that basis, shutter priority mode, best exposure setting (spot, centre'ish, whole frame? ISO setting? You know what I mean anyway.

Also any assistance on FL36 settings where flash can also be used would be appreciated. I've only recently got the thing and testing has so far been limited.

I've got several batteries and compactflash cards, so should not be a problem there. No spare body though
