Working at a catholic church the pass weekend where the church people are not friendly. Won't allow me mic the priest. So I mount a voice recorder on light stand to reach up high close to the ceiling speaker. Here's a sample clip.
Its only 30 seconds. Please take a listen especially near the end .

You can understand what's being said, so that's good. Some LF rumble though, but that could be attenuated in post.
I direct feed of the house system would be a better option, in conjunction with a room mic or two.
 
I also have a lav mic on the groom. There will be no way to tap into their sound system. They are not friendly to approach.
 
If the church people aren't friendly, then have the bride and groom talk to them if they want a feed of the mains. I've never heard of a church sound person being a grump. That's not christ-like at all.
