CL, you should still try and cover the Wedding, maybe shadowing the Pro, if they don't mind of course, I'm sure he or she will be able to give you all the pointers you'll need for future jobs
If the pro is not so keen to be shadowed ( after all, they will be under pressure too ) then ask your friend if you can be a "2nd" camera at the wedding, and ask her to let the pro know you will be there with her consent.
You won't need to charge her anything...she gets a second set of prints....the pro gets on with the job...you get to see everything the pro sets up and shoots....and you also get some practice in yourself.
Everyone's a winner!

invite tot he wedding only means you get a paid meal.
I'd still attend the church service, and get pics there. I'd even go so far as to ask the bride if she'd mind you coming to the photoshoot too, so you can be 2nd camera.
If you dont ask, you wont get

I have also asked if they would like me to take a few pre wedding shots for extra practise.
and as stated above "If you dont ask, you wont get!"
good luck!
