Don't forget the rings. My cousin's wedding was delayed over an hour, with the bride kept in the dark, while someone went back to his apartment to get them.
Another vote for keeping people entertained. I have played for many weddings and receptions, and seen some interesting things. One wedding hired 2 magicians. They weren't the cheesy sort - I actually ended up having one come to my university for a special show.
Make sure your bride has some friends to follow you guys to wherever she is changing out of her dress. I know you'll want to be alone, but if that's the case, be prepared to help her get out of her dress, pack it away, get pins out of her hair, etc etc etc. It will totally be worth waiting 20 mins for a friend or two to help her, then they will of course bail out and leave you be.
I've been maid of honor for several weddings and bridesmaids for more - let your best man and maid of honor take control on details that don't require your input. They're 2 of the people who probably know you best and what you would want, that's why you picked them in the first place!
