What size reflector should I get?

I've been asked to shoot a wedding tomorrow, it's my first, and the preacher said you can't use flash. So I figured I'd open the front door and reflect some light in there. What size reflector should I buy and where can I buy it? If its not local I need overnight shipping of course.

    Forget it. Any sane sized reflector is not going illuminate a whole church. In any case, reflectors work best when they are used to reduce shadows than improve light levels overall. You'll probably get objections to supplementary lighting as well so you're thinking more along the lines of plain old aperture and exposure settings.

    Don't mess around with ISO settings and/or film speed - they need to be left at fairly conservative values since people demand very good quality in their wedding photographs.
