I can only agree....shot my first (amateur) wedding a few weeks ago, 
but the couple loved it!

On a side not, although I wouldn't recommend it for a first time use:
You can get Kodak HIE in 70mm perforated, and there is a 70mm back 
for your Hasselblad. But you also run into the added problem of bulk 
darkloading with this format. Save it for later, but keep it in mind.

Not sure if you get the result you want with Konica (available in
120, Kodak HIE is not!)....never saw that mentioned in respect with
wedding photography....anyone?
You sure need a tripod in that case, another reason to prefer Kodak 
HIE for this application....
