  What you have is just fine (see below). If you don't know how to use it 
effectively, you can leave the tripod behind. Use an ISO 100 print film for 
bright daylight shots and a faster ISO 200 through ISO 800 print film for 
lower light shots (evening or flash). The faster films will allow better 
handheld shots in dim lighting. Konica and Fuji are good film choices.

  Your camera has a built-in meter that will give the aperture and shutter 
speed (see below). These will change based on the available light when you 
actually take the picture, so we cannot possibly give you this info in 
advance.

  A "circular polarizing filter" would probably help, but don't expect 
really great results. Search the internet for how to use this filter (see 
below).

  Here is the all important "below" mentioned above. Take several hours, 
spread over several days, to carefully read the owner's manuals. Compare 
what you read to the actual camera, practicing the settings and controls. If 
you have time, take a roll of film of similar subjects (your bride, scenery, 
and so on). Have this film processed at a one hour lab and see what the 
results are. If you see problems, figure out what caused them and how to 
prevent a repeat of that during your trip.
