Aw, c'mon, it may not be so bad. Given he's a friend, I suspect folks will cooperate. I'm sure when you do it all the time sometimes it *is* a nightmare, but I wouldn't assume it. I'm not a professional wedding photog, but have shot half a dozen for friends, and it's always actually been a lot of fun. I do like relating to people, but I got nothing but happy cooperation. I *am* a professional musician, and have done hundreds of weddings. Aside from the occasional obnoxious drunken uncle, it's all been pretty routine. It's also given me the opportunity to watch a lot of WPs at work. I find most people like to cooperate, even if only because they know if they do it will go quicker and they can go start eating and drinking.
The kit looks fine to me, I'm sure you could do the job with it. I would suggest using a flash bracket to reduce redeye danger, especially if you're further away shooting with a longer lens. The other thing I would do is practice exposing simultaneous black and white subjects with your kit, and figure out where the best exposure compensation lies. That's the other classic killer for wedding shots. Also, if you can get into the space beforehand to suss it out, do white balance checking, find vantage points, etc you will feel more at ease. Is there a rehearsal you can attend?
