True of weddings, too...;-)

There are several solutions: shoot 80-minute tapes in SP mode; shoot

LP mode with 60-minute tapes (no problem with VX2000 generally,

if clean); FireWire a second camera to the VX2000 and start it late;

FireWire connect a D8 camera and record 90-minute tape in LP mode

(gives 2 hours 15 minutes record time).
