Would I do it again next time? Maybe - the results aren't too bad, and some
parts were fun to do. But I guess the initial advice would still be to let a
professional do the job...

Hans,
Now that you've can claim being an experienced wedding photographer . . .
Seriously, if you ever have to do it again, planning for it should be much
easier, and you have a better idea of what works for you and what doesn't
(bodies, lenses, lighting, film, etc.).
From my military career: a wise general once told me that even the very
best of battle plans is only good until the first shot gets fired.
It primarily ensures you have enough of the right stuff on hand and that
it's well organized at the beginning. All you can do after that is go with
the flow as the day unfolds, and revise the original plan as needed. As it
gets revised, the plan ensures you haven't missed anything. If you do omit
something, it's a conscious decision at the time and not a surprising
discovery a week later.
You did a good job, and a large number of your photographs are very
nice. I like the pastel shades in some of the available light ones you
shot in the church. Gives them a soft, warm feeling. A number of the
candids are very good, and you handled the short lens for them very
well. You also maintained good background perspectives, even with the very
short lenses. When the flow of events requires working quickly, that is
not easy.
