Help !!! Wedding Portraits

I Gonna have a photograph session with a couple this weekend for their wedding portrait
We planned to shoot at a park and maybe go to the beach, so far i have a 5D mrk II and T2i, 50mm and the 70-200 f4L (and 18-55 too but it's just for my t2i) ... this is my first time, so any tips and trick ?

Nearly $5000 in gear and you're in a panic about wedding photos?!.... I don't get it.

Just because i have no experience in wedding yet .... just ask for tips that's all

I dont see how wedding is any different to a normal portrait session.

What exactly did you need help with? What gear to use? What lighting?
Shouldnt you know all this already before doing a wedding gig? Im assuming its a wedding gig since you posted in here.

We can give you thousands of tips.. but what exactly are you after?

With the gear you got use the 50mm or 70-200 for portrait shots.

Honestly, might as well bring everything with you. You'll need the T2i just in case your 5D2 goes kaput. It's also convenient having a second body.

Do you have a flash? You'll probably need one for fill flash, etc.

I would say for portraits, 50mm. The 70-200 at the longer focal lengths will give you some nice compression as well.

The most important thing is make them feel comfortable and free.

just have fun with it, if you are having a great time, the couple will show it in their pictures.

Passion outshines technicalities.

Don't fidget with your stuff, don't inhibit their moment, just capture THEM.

Hopefully you know your gear enough so you dont have to fidget.

How was your e-session?

it got moved to early August

Never let them see you sweat *L*

Use this lens a lot.. EF 70-200mm f/4 L

Good luck in August.

Just be cool and conversational. Don't be afraid to direct. Plan before hand, including permits if required.

Keep the background simple and preferably at a distance well beyond your DOF. Open shade is nice to avoid harsh facial shadows. If you can, try to have an assistant present to handle a reflector panel to fine tune the subject lighting. Stay calm, work deliberatly and good luck.
