this is a rough spot, but i wouldn't dj my bosses wedding. definitely be honest with him/her to let them know you have never done a wedding and see if they are still interested. look at it this way: it's one of the biggest, most important days in their lives and it's not something to be taken lightly because you can make some "extra coinage" by simply playing a bunch of oldies and top 40 stuff. it's very serious and if you don't do well, there may very well be some consequences at your work since it's your boss we are talking about. there's a lot involved in consideration of gear, lights, vibe, the clients needs, etc. tread very lightly on this and don't jump in likes it's no big deal.
on the flip side, if you do very well there will likely be positives at work as well. it shows that you have the ability to go beyond your normal box and succeed, but again be very honest that it's not your standard area of djing. really think about this all the way through and weigh out the pros and cons of either decision and think about the worst case scenario and best case scenarios along with the amount of risk.
