Don't you just hate how friends put the touch on you when they know you are a amature photographer. It happens to all of us from time to time and I've done my share of them. I've done them both freebies and paid. Use a flash for everything pre and post ceremony, use a tripod for shots during the ceremony. I may be old school in my thinking but flashes during the ceremony are distracting and rude. Use equipment that you know like the back of your hand. You don't want to be fumbling with dials and buttons when you have the wedding party standing in front of you waiting for you to "GET THE PICTURES OVER WITH". I'm sure you have told them that this is not your gig and they would be much better off to hire a pro for such an important event and it probably went in one ear and out the other. The last time someone hit me up to take pictures at their wedding I told them that I wanted to party with all of our friends and share in the even. I can't do this if I'm working taking your wedding pictures. They actually understood this and hired it out and I'm really glad they did.
