Nikon Flash Gun/wedding

I'm looking to purchase a Flash Gun to use with my Nikon D7000. I have two weddings coming up and it would be very useful to have a flash gun to use, but at the moment I'm super tight for cash and I'm looking for cheap one approx no more than £150. I'm looking to get one to put me out for a couple of events to them be able to get a more expensive one.

I can't phsyically afford an expensive one right now, but anyway I'm a student photographer and I've been doing it for about 4 years now and I'm looking to get one. I need one that is easy(ish) to learn how to use, as I've had no experience with flash, other than studio lights.

I was also wondering if some people could help me with some tips for weddings photographs as I'm new to the whole scene:-)

Any feedback is appreciated.

Added (1). I would appreciate no sarcastic comments, I have photographed A LOT of events, just without a flash gun. I have been an assistant at 5 different weddings with professional photographers and have full capability with my camera and it's internal flash, I'm looking for advice for flash guns as I have no experience with them but can get by without them and also people need to start somewhere.

So to all the sarcastic people and people saying 'run' no. No I won't run, I'm a good photographer with full capability with what I have. I'm not stupid and I understand how it works. The weddings are also friends and family, therefore they know my situation.

Start running.

Wedding photography is not for the inexperienced - or those who can't afford the kit. Bow out gracefully before you ruin the happiest day of two women's lives.

Google Wedding Photographer Sued and then decide if you really want to shoot a wedding when you don't even know the equipment.

You said "I have been an assistant at 5 different weddings with professional photographers and have full capability with my camera and it's internal flash".

I'm sorry, but if your lead photographer let you anywhere near a paying bride with just a pop-up flash then you need to consider any and all experience you've gained from that photographer moot or irrelavent. You're either lying through your teeth or you're being trained to do it *** backwards. This is like a race car driver asking how to use a clutch.
