Hi Rhonda; Welcome to betterphoto.com. You don't say when the wedding is, but it's getting to be the time of year when lighting should not be a problem if it's an outdoor wedding. If it's indoor, You'll have problems. A flash is the topic of debate for many photographers. A flash definately has it's place in photography. Every photographer I know uses one to some extent. Using a tripod can have good and bad consequences at a wedding. To use slower shutter speeds also has the same effect. By using a slower shutter speed, you run the risk of an important shot, simply the action. Take a Jewish wedding when the bride and groom stomp on the goblet. The action alone can blur the shot. This may or may not make a good print. That's not a chance I'm willing to take. The reception is another place where a flash is most likely warranted. Lots of action. You may want to get comfortable using one. I hate to say it, but I most often use one at weddings. It's rare when I don't. I even use fill flash when shooting daylight weddings. Have fun and keep shooting,
