When I shot my first wedding, I told them that it was my first, but I also didn't charge them anything.

Making the jump to wedding photography is huge. I didn't have a clue what I was doing the first few times, but I shot a few weddings for free, checked out a lot of books, looked at the work of other wedding photographers, and I think I have learned a ton. Granted, I'm not the best out there, but if people like what's in my portfolio and hire me, I consider myself to be up to the job.

I'd take on the wedding if they like your work, but I do wonder what you're charging them and if you'd be willing to refund their money if it goes badly. It's always a bit of a gamble. Good luck!
