The wedding is at Agios Charalambos church (6.30 pm) which is right behind the famous windmills in the town/port. This is not difficult to find. The windmills are at the edge of the town, not far from the "little Venice" area. As you look at the sea from above the town basically, the windmills are on the left hand side. Once you arrive at the windmills, walk towards the car park behind it (towards the side of the sea) and at the end of the dirt road there is a tiny little church overlooking the sea. I will put pictures for you to see (next post).
Regarding the parking situation: Have in mind that you are in greece and driving here in general is a bit crazy, and parking even worse. The options are these:
1) Free parking in the big parking lot near the old port, which is on the other side of the town. You can go nice and early and then have a nice walk in the town. Don't be discouraged by the "at the other side of town" comment, its an island so the town is small. And VERY nice to walk through it. You can ask directions for the windmills. Don't search for a map of the town/old port, there isn't any. The streets are narrow, you can go only on foot, and they are labyrinth like. So put plenty of time, and keep on asking the locals (they may not know the church, but everyone knows the windmills!).
2) Private (to pay) parking very close to the church, by the main road. There are some gates basically.
Whatever you do, DO NOT park on the main road, your car will be either crashed or fined by the police. I don't think there will be space to park at the public parking by the church (and it's difficult to get in and out of it in any case), and I also think you need special permission to park there ( i believe it's only for locals).
When you come for the reception afterwards, there is plenty of space at the resort for your cars, free parking, and plenty of it, so no worries. (I will give you map etc).
