I shot my first "solo" wedding last year.
I have shot maybe 30 as a second shooter and maybe another 50 as an assistant/VAL. I got this wedding from a former supervisor. She was getting married and asked me to perform the honor.
After talking it over with my old boss he told me to go for it, but to make sure the contract had some disclaimers in it so she knew up front it was my first as a lead. Dirk, my mentor, came along as a second shooter but made it clear the weight was on me this time not him. In reality, the only difference was he was the VAL for me during formals and we swaped our usual paces during the actual event.
The client loved it and I even got a pm from Catherine Hall on the work.
