I have been taking free portraits for friends and family over the last year or so - to get some experience but ultimately to build a portfolio and to aspire to one day getting paid for it. I thought it would be easy and achievable in a short space of time.
The reality has been very different, I can only echo all of the comments from above. Particularily that people will still have expectations even after you have explained to them your limits.Also weddings are a huge responsability - you only get one chance.
There is lots you can be doing in the meantime - read, go online, practise, join a club, definately don't be put off - and above all else take your time, get comfortable, and build your skills. All the best!!
