Shooting a wedding

[Esoterra]

My sister-in-law is getting married in June. I have been asked to be the photographer. I consider myself an intermediate enthusiast so I accepted the offer and when offered payment I didnt feel right as this will be my first real job so I declined payment. I did however give them a disclaimer that I am not in any means a professional but they are making their decision based off of the pics they have seen of my kids that I took. Having said all that, I am confident in my abilities, yet a little nervous because I havent had any official training and if I botch the job ( I wont) I can't run away from the situation lol. Does anyone have any tips or technique in regards to composition, proper equiptment I might need, and posing the subjects?

Study some of the gallery shots from Jamie (jamison55) and Christians (CWPhoto) sites. Both are good examples.

Ok guys... you're on...
