Please don't start shooting weddings if you don't have a clue what your doing. Think about the people who will hire you, think about their day, think about NEVER being able to go back and get those photos back.
If you don't know what you'll need and how much to pay for it, chances are you don't know how to use your equipment for a wedding.
Sorry to be blunt, this was meant to show you that this isn't about YOU, it's about THEM, the client, the person whom these pictures will be their ONLY reminder of their wedding.

Thanks for the helpful response. Keep them coming!
Whoops, did i forget to mention we are taking photography classes starting in January, as well as attending ImagingUSA in Phoenix, as well as shadowing a professional (and mentor) for a few gigs to learn the ropes?
And did I forget to mention that despite my current lack of knowledge with said equipment, I have a natural eye and had several friends happier with my point and shoot photography at their weddings than the prints they received from the "pro" they hired?
Oh, and did I mention that to help build our portfolio, we have two weddings with family just out of school who cannot afford a professional photographer and asked if we'd be willing to do it for free?
No, I did not mention these things because I am posting a simple question on a forum on a website called Digital Photography "School." I simply want to learn, and that is what I'm doing here.
Maybe, Eric... with your attitude, you'd be better off posting on a website called "digital photography snobs who think they're holier than thou"
