I just feel like I'm missing something. arragned where and when and all that jazz. have a list for all the groups of people for the formals. its an outdoor wedding and I almost feel I'm not good enough to do it
But I know that I can.
What would you say are the key shots to get? starting from getting ready and im going until the cake cutting at the reception
You'll be fine. Read the links given, look at some online ports and have fun. If you are relaxed, and having fun, they are more likely to be as well.
If possible, scout at the site the day or two before at the same time the wedding will be. That will give you a general idea of the light situation, and may spark some ideas for creative shots.

Ive been to the place before around the same time of day. The lighting will be a little harsh but Ill do with what i can, the area is all greenery. if its light enough should i use my polarizer?
hopeuflly ill do fine with just my 24-70 and 50mm and 430EX
Try to get hold of a fast telephoto, a 70-200 f2.8 is a must.. trust me, it is, it really is.
How come? i guess it would depend on the situation. the place im shooting at is outdoors and its not really big its a standing venue for guests and the whole enclosure is no bigger than 30ft in diameter. I think my 24-70 wil be just fine for this

Its not just for close ups, remember using a long fast lens really makes a subject standout from a background. Granted you `could` get a similar effect with a 50mm 1.8 or 24-70 f2.8, but you will need to be in their face.
Obviously this doesnt apply if you have an insanely fast lens, like a 1.2, or even a f1.0 (I used the 50mm 1.0 the other day, it is INSANELY fast)
Actually come to think of it, it does, 50mm can't compress the image in quite the same way as 200mm. fact.
85mm 1.8 can get some nice, impersonal images like these.
It will be. 200mm is WAY too long IMO, makes the shots feel impersonal.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that....VERY impersonal.
No moments captured here then? (all with 70-200 f2.8)
and not forgetting these I took at a pre-wedding shoot today.
Like I said, if you can get hold of a long fast lens, it will be of MASSIVE benefit, but wtf do I know anyway? ;-)
the 70-200 is also great for getting key shots like rings being exchanged, the kiss, and headshots of the couple without forcing yourself in front of the vicar...
It is probably my favourite lens for catching natural moments.

Completely agree, the 70-200 is on my camera for roughly 60% of the day when shooting a wedding.
Nice shots, I can't say they aren't and wouldn't dream of saying they aren't.
Just not my style to shoot from 50 yards out :-) 85mm is quite enough for my style. Now, if I had a full frame 5D (which is not gonna happen for various reasons), I might reconsider.

I also have a 50mm/1.4 which after the aps-c sensor conversion is only 5 mm wider than your 85mm
But getting a 70-200 is out of the question at this time, I will make do with what equipment I have
