Incidentally, 400asa is giving somewhere between 1/4000 - 1/8000 sec at f1.4 in Manchester today. Last Saturday from mid morning to mid afternoon it was around 1/500-1/1000 depending on how black the cloud was overhead. By late afternoon it was down to around 1/125-1/250 sec at f1.4 with heavy rain.
Work it out for yourself.
The reason we mainly (full-time professionals) used films like NPH 400 in the bad old days is because the emulsions were (are) so good in terms of colour saturation and fineness of grain that it was pointless to use slower emulsions.
Fursan may be glad of the extra speed during the ceremony, even at f1.4 Portra 160 would not be very useful to him and I don't know anyone who would want to set their Nikon or Canon dslr to 160asa, if they could.
The advice I offer to Fursan is based on many years full-time experience as a wedding photographer.
Good luck Fursan, I hope you enjoy the wedding and get some great shots for your friends.
