The hiring the pro thing was a little peculiar. I don't think it's exactly black and white write or wrong, though. It's a bit ... on the edge.
Regardless, I wasn't speaking for every poster, but the OP got a lot of solid advice that, yes, tried to convince him to not do this. I'm telling you that that is good advice, and very common when coming from more experienced folks. Is every wedding an impossible disaster doomed to blow up in every new photographer's face? No. But on average, they're very challenging and many of them can lead to very significant problems very quickly and the average person with a camera is getting in way over their heads in trying it. Given we're all dealing with broad strokes of the brush and people we don't really know here, it makes a LOT of sense to provide cautious conservative advice, and where weddings are concerned that equates very clearly to... "DON'T DO IT."
