Question about starting in Wedding Photography

Was reading some posts here... hope I'm ok with my question.

Am very interested in starting into Wedding Photography. Extra income
I guess being the main motivation... second to taking pictures.
(second only because "People" have never been my thing, am much more
into scenics,
anyway...

If I wanted to get started... Things I know I need are this...
-Medium format camera (2 probably)
-Serious flash equipment
-Color darkroom equip

With technology being so affordable these days... my questions are...

1) Do wedding photographers (for the most part) still just use film
and developing... or are they using digital technology?
(cameras/expensive printers)

2) Is digital technology near the same quality as print film ?

3) Of any of you that have done wedding photography, would love to
know how you broke into the field... even if sent via email.

I'm a 35mm novice and I know it's going to be a big expense either
way.
Thank you all for reading and I look forward to some good advice.

Are you sure that's the right attitude to take into a Wedding
photography project ?

If a second income is your aim, and your strength is in scenic
photography, why not investigate producing postcards and calendars
instead ?

Would you like someone who thinks, "People photography isn't really
my thing, I'd much rather be shooting the grounds of this church
rather than the people in it!" to photograph your wedding ?
