I suggest that you do one of two things.
Change your default number to your cell and get rid of the land line.
Get a new bank/card company. Take only one or two (at a maximum) cards with you leave everything else locked up at home.
As for getting burgled, I have been hit twice but never while on vacation. I always set up my son, getting to be an old man, as the first contact for the alarm company while out of the country. I buy the monthly deal with my cell phone (sorry) mobile that allows for phone calls and texting while out of country. I use free Wi-Fi for the data portion of required communication. I have bought new SIMs but that changes your mobile number and really screws up people trying to text/call you, plus the SIMs I have purchased only worked in the countries that I bought them in. But really, there is no reason to be all that paranoid, carrying your camera stuff around is not as scary as it is being made out to be in this thread. Carry the minimum you need and leave the big stuff home.

Then hand my suggestions to the guy/gal who will be taking pictures at the wedding. Unless the Groom is going to step back and blast away.:eek:
Shoot what you want after the fact. In fact it could be used as a introduction for the spouse to the photographic addiction.:lol:

Make a shot list. Here is one that is almost too simple: Must-Take Wedding Photo Checklist - Real Simple this one is better: Your Wedding-Day Shot List BridalGuide
Check with the venue for photographic "rules".
If you are a member of the Wedding party - don't be the photographer use that time to be a family member.
Don't yell (too loud) at the "Uncle Bob's" who bring their $8K cameras and stand in front of you.
Don't stand in front of Grandparents, Parents, Uncles or other "important" people.
Never give away your RAW images - shoot only RAW.
Have a contract - even if it is family - or especially with family.
Check your personal liability insurance.
Turn down your cell phone - or better yet, turn if off. (The text message ringtone for my son is the first few lines of JFK's "We choose to go to the moon" speech, not something that would go over very well when the minister/priest/justice of the peace asks if there is someone in the room who has an objection to these two getting hitched)
