What you do will end up in an album and stand as a monument, whether true or not, to what kind of photographer you were. We all love 35mm and Leica stuff, or we wouldn't be in this group, but an 8x10 from high speed 35mm is really pushing your luck. Don't risk disappointing a friend on a very important occassion. Use your H'blad or something you are familiar with, flash and iso 100 film - it has worked for years. Take the Leica and fast B&W film to grab as many shots as time permits as use this as a learning experience. 35mm is fine for the mob scenes (reception). Good luck however you decide to do it.
