I'm 100% digital but I miss my film. Will I ever get over that? I'm from the old school. I do everything right the first time so I don't need photo shop. Film has taught me well.

You do "everything right the first time"?
You must be delusional. I can see that you're going to get on reeeally well around here.. not.

So shoot film, then. I still shoot some film (35mm) at weddings, although the percentage is becoming less and less. I almost always capture the formals on both digital and film. Often I have the film camera loaded with C41 B&W during the getting ready and reception. Very few clients care which medium you use, as long as you deliver good results. And I agree with Dr Sam about post processing. No wedding photographer I know gives un-processed files, no matter how good the exposure is, they still need sharpening and levels adjustment to look their best. But, whatever works for you.

If you love film (as I do), use it if you want. Customers wanting wedding photos will usually be pursuaded by the quality of the final prints, not the means by which you created them. Few photographers part with the negatives or digital files (so that they can prevent customers declining extra prints or enlargements and getting them cheaper with trade processors), so it makes no difference how you create the images, as long as they're good enough to win customers.

Give in to the temptation. Use the film and satisfy your urge. By the way, I just abandoned digital for everything except snapshots, dug out my Canon A-1s and Pentax 645, and am teaching myself how to use film all over again.

Just keep shooting film for fun. Just because the pro world stop shooting film does not mean you have too. I know many fine art shooters as well as wild live shooters shooting film. As long as you have a good lab or developer your own film you are good to go.

If you are a pro shooting digital and not using photoshop, you are missing the final step in correcting the shortcomings of all digital sensors. ALL OF THEM. Look at this question and click on his link. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmkySTIV4BbN.522F8OhJ_GNxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20071118025021AAJqW3g
Some may be a bit overdone, but look at the portraits and try to guess what camera he used before you look. They look like 4x5 sheet film to me, but they're not.
I'm glad your exposures are excellent and I imagine that this is possible, but you really don't want all of your final images to be as soft as they must be if you don't touch them a bit with Photoshop.
Now what?
Why not shoot film if you love it so much? These modern times, I suppose...

I miss schlepping my glass plates around in my covered wagon, too. You know roll film just never captured the quality of sheet film, either....and the smell of the chemicals!
