Good advice. An author I would recommend is Roberto Valenzuela. Someone who has trained his eye for composition and can make a big difference.

I think in general it is wise to be a second photographer with a wedding photographer you respect for a few weddings before you jump in yourself. Shooting weddings is difficult, but far from impossible. People sometimes act like it is shooting a high end sporting event, but it isn't quite that bad.
Make yourself a list of all the shots you need and get those before you think about taking random "interesting shots." Set yourself a schedule and do your best to stick to it. Time is often at a premium and getting formal shots in the time you have allotted requires dedication to that schedule. If you don't have an external flash, you should get one and learn to use it.
As far as after the fact, I think it is expected you will develop your images, cull the poor ones. Typically my wife would get some type of personalized USB drive that she puts the photos on. She also maintains a Zenfolio website that her clients can access to download their photos.
As far as pricing, I hesitate to stay. A lot of what people pay for when they are paying for a wedding photographer is a level of experience, which you don't really have at this point. At the same time, you are devoting your time and energy to it and that is worth something. I would sit down and talk about your style, your abilities and what you think you can offer them and then come to terms on it. You definitely can do it, but it isn't an easy thing to do.
