Wow! Lucky you lol. I've always loved weddings mostly because of the food and doing pranks with my younger cousins like put salt in people's beers when they aren't looking xD
Anyway. You probably want to get a diffuser before you go blind people with your flash

Here is a short guide about flash photography:

...and this is the diffuser I got and it fits your flash as well.

Hm I've started to take quite many flash shots at night... Do you really need a diffuser if your flash is directional? I haven't really found any harsh shadows when I bounce it off the ceiling D;

Yeah I have a built in one. And the link with donsphoto does not work lol

Well the built in diffuser isn't very effective that's why I got an external one as well

-.- stupid Don's lol IF you want you can just use the search engine on their website and search for Stofen OM-EW.

I am still a newbie when it comes to flash photography and have only used my flash a few times but from what I have read and heard diffusers are very helpful when you have nothing to bounce off of. As it says in the guide it would make the object less overexposed and obtain more natural colors.

Hm. Yeah. Remind me to post some of my flash photography some time and I'll see if you guys find it satisfactory without a diffuser x'D lol<3
