On the other hand, if you let your friend "borrow" the car (non-commercial), then she and her husband *could* be covered under your insurance.  I have mine insured normally, so anyone I let borrow the car is covered as long as I am not getting paid.  The handful of friends I trust enough are grateful....  :-)
 
I've done weddings for free before, but I've never let anyone actually drive the car.  Usually they've just wanted it for pictures.  I don't mind as long as I have the time.  Plus, I'm an ultra-nice guy.
 
Bottom line is: we can speculate all we want, but you'll only know by calling your insurance company.

As long as you are driving the car and it is your friend it is
probably going to be OK. Generally when you use your car "For Hire"
your insurance does NOT cover it. You can have your insurance company
insure it just for the event. You can contact them and ask them how
much. As for a fee, I did a "Delorean" wedding in October of last year
for a girl in Rhinebeck, NY. I drove there and then drove the Bride
from the mansion to the back in the Delorean to make an entrance to
the field where they held the ceremony. About 4 hours. I did not get
extra insurance. I charged $500. I had asked for 1/2 in advance to
hold the date.
