err sorry to be blunt ... i guess it's better to advise your friend/relative to get a pro .. please don't screw up other ppl's once in a life time mia wedding 
I did some shots before on my friends and cousins wedding dinner, although i'm not the official photog. To be frank with you, I had a hard time getting fast enough shutter speed to freeze movement while trying to preserve as much ambient light as possible on my 5DmarkII+430EXII. I also found that I am using ISO 1000 and above throughout the function.
just my noob 2 junk cent. Perhaps other sifu may give you more pointer.

Remember that, even though your equipment are poor... try to see the schedule and maybe have a visit a day before the wedding begins and sync it with the timing on the schedule. Visualize the wedding of how it is going to be....
Like my fav photographer always say "Expression beats perfection any day" so yeah... try to visualize the shot you wanted and try to compose in your mind. It is all about doing your homework ... while all this will sounds like a troublesome... just do it. It will benefit you.
My sifu also said this... "You all take pictures like a fool. Try to pre-visualize the shot you wanted and list down the style shots you wanted then you can execute it nicely." Practically speaking that, you don't go war in blind, you must be prepared for all the consequences that may or may not happen.
My own motto is that "Why everyone can do that and I can't? We are all human"
My own picture and no... this is not a strobist shot or whatever you called it... I pre-visualize it and he happens to be right spot at the right amount of light and walla~ snapped it

I'm still a newb in photography and I tested wedding photography last week at my cousin wedding...my exp is that the light won't b enough due to the ceiling is very high and I guess all wedding dinner hv diff kinda light that will affect ur shot..so it's very hard to get the right setting at tht time on the spot...plus u nd to follow both the bride n groom everywhere to shoot which is another hard task...
sorry guys, but it is not a wedding, it is a Charity dinner for my organization. so everything is volunteer. btw, thanks for the experience. gonna digest this few post 1st. thanks!
