If you screw it up it's gone forever. They deserve a true professional. If you want to be a wedding photographer it would be wonderful for you to apprentice with a professional for a year or two. Trying to become a wedding photographer on a real wedding would be wrong no matter how nice your photos. Wedding photography is a whole lot more than being able to capture nice photographs. Good luck.
I would recommend that you look at some of Denise’s work before throwing cold water over somebody. If Denise did not have a photographers eye and the talent to make this a great event, then nobody here would be encouraging or providing assistance.
