...I am just not very good with indoor shots...

...all my Carol service shots were a disaster,red-eye,and blurry...
Christine, re-read my post, especially this bit: '...if you're not fully familiar with the workings of your camera then don't even think about it...' and decline the invitation to shoot the photos, suggesting that you don't think you can do justice to such an important occasion or something equally diplomatic. Take along a compact camera and just use it on full program mode and do some 'unofficial' shots to supplement the official ones.
