[OM] What to take? lots of questions

I'm happy to announce that my daughter will be marrying a bright young
man the first week in June.
It's an informal affair and she has asked me to take some pictures.
Unfortunately just because a couple of my landscape photos turned out
pretty good she thinks the wedding ones will too. I'm not nearly so
confident. My only "experience" with wedding photography is vicariously
though this group! So I would appreciate any suggestions.

First of all, what to take? The wedding is in Ohio at the soon to be
in-laws' house and requires an overnight each way so that is a
limitation. Hopefully they will find a decent tripod for me to use. I am
ordering up 3 rolls ea. Portra 160nc, Reala and some 400nc and/or vc.
What do you think? What about the Fuji professional film? Can i pack
this to carry on or should I have it sent directly from B&H to OH? And
what kind of light can I expect in June in OH? Event is outdoors and in
rented tents. My daughter wants mostly candids but also a few portraits
which may be indoors or under the tent depending upon the weather.

Gear: OM4 and OM4t bodies, one with 160/100 asa the other with 400asa.
lots of extra batteries
 28/2, 50/1.2, 85/2, 35~105, 135/2.8, 180/2.8  Am I in the ballpark?
Suggestions? Wides?
Do I need a winder?

Flash: The big problem for me as I just don't use it enough to be
comfortable.
BG2 and T32, 1 or 2 ?? 
Or the F280 which I really haven't mastered?
Do I need off camera flash with attendant cords etc.?

I'm sure I'll have more questions
Mike
