GH2 Tips for a Wedding with a GH2 + Canon HV30

So I'm shooting my first wedding for a family member and was wondering if anyone with more experience had any tips for me :)
I'm going to be using the Canon HV30 as my B camera and the GH2 as my main camera. I was wondering what frame rate I should use since my HV30 only does 1080 30p / 60i unless I want to deal with pulldown for 24p (and I don't actually know how to do it.. haha)
Should I be sticking with locking the shutter speed at double the frame rate? Does the "film look" of 24p really matter? (I can just use 1080 30p on my GH2 to match the frame rates). I'd want to stay on 1080, so the 720 60p option for the GH2 is out (even though it would probably look really good for slow-mo?)

How does mixing frame rates turn out (using HV30 30p and GH2 24p) ?? The footage will ultimately be uploaded online for my family and probably put on a DVD.
 
well i have both cameras and they can mix, you can edit the footage on a single timeline and export to what you want,DVD what a waste though,yes relatives only ever need that.
 
Ive tossed HV30 pf24 footage on a 24p timeline without issue. Problems only really crop up if there's a lot of movement, which is unlikely in a wedding ceremony.
