To shoot with prime lens only you must know about the lighting condition and it limitation.
So first thing you must learn how to shoot wedding well first, when you have the confident already, than slowly build up you own style.

While i cover weddings dinner, ...........................
I have trained myself to shoot atleast 30% to 50% using existing light, available lights. Church wise, recently i have cover 1, 95% i don't use flash, and i printed out to give to couple. I felt without flash looks more moods.
Lastly, shoot more, more and more, you will suceed. I am still learning also, not easy, cos if you shooting a glass at dinner with available lights, and you shoot it 3 times, means you fail. i am very tough on myself, thats how i learn. Its my ricebowl.

Btw shinken,
I always shoot as main and sole photographer, must give standard and formal pictures so most shots are with flash, only those less important, none critical ceremony, environment ambient or some couple portraits shots will use available lights, for available lights, just try to work within handheld speed or high enough to freeze subject movement. For metering, try spot metering and M mode, even that you may still have to shoot 5 or 6 shots just to get 1 right.
Hope this help.
