Do not worry about shooting in the cold with your camera. I always carry extra batteries in my pocket to keep them warm. When I am finished photographing in the cold or changing locations I will break my camera apart and put it in Ziploc bags which will allow condensation to form on the inside of the bag. I also put my camera in the colder part of the vehicle. Do let your camera sit out where the heater from your car will hit it. Warm your camera up slowly. i never had any problems.

About three times as much. No question the Mac is... (show quote)
Mac is not greatly superior to PC it is just my preferred operating system. I have used Windows 7 and I think it is better than xp. I just like the Imac because I have a 27 inch IPS monitor along with an operating system I am very familiar with. It all comes down to personal preference and are you willing to spend the money. (A new lens would have been nice though)

I used a PC up until last year and then switched to an IMAC. Never looked back. Much more stable computer. It does cost a bit more.

I suggest you look into "Think Tank" camera holster bag. I can carry a d300s body with Nikon 300mm f4 on my belt and extra equipment in a backpack. The camera is always readily available when I need it. They even make a belt that you can attach various pouches and bags in case you did not want to bring a backpack.

It is a good idea. I have done this before and it works great! I did this while on a 9 day hike in New Mexico. I ran the camera straps down through the corners of the zip lock, duck taped the corners to seal it and pulled the bag down over the camera. The camera was always ready when I needed it.

Use the lens tripod mount as stated. It also allows you to rotate the camera easily for portrait or landscape shots by just the turn of a screw.

You can't beat the quality of Think Tank. I have a couple of the holster cases and lens cases that attach to the belt. Your equipment is readily available when you need it and they also went as far as to put a waterproof pack cover attached to the bag that you can use if you are out and it starts to rain or snow.

You might want to check out Think Tanks holster style camera bags. I carry a Lowepro Trekker as a previous poster suggested with extra lenses I do not need access to and then the holster with my camera and lens attached. I have Think Tanks digital Holster 20 and 30 which will hold a Nikon d300s body and a 300mm f4 lens.

There is no set standard settings. Having photographed landscapes I am sure you know shutter, f-stop etc. You will have to change your setting depending on conditions and be prepared for equipment problems (have backup equipment). I always shoot Manual mode so that I can quickly adjust an F stop or Shutter speed. I learned that from the medium format days. You said you are not getting paid and that this is for a friend. Let them know you have not photographed a wedding before, and whatever you do make sure you talk to the bride and groom to find out all the details of the wedding. We all have to start somewhere. Who knows you may end up wanting to photograph more weddings and you may end up being very good at it. Just be aware there is pressure and stress involved in photographing weddings, even if you are not getting paid. Know your lighting and your craft and i would say go for it!
