Honestly, I did exactly this. I did all the photography and videography as a gift for a friend.
Honestly, ydi. NEVER photograph a wedding without getting paid in full before the day. Best thing to do, when they book with you have them sign a contract. This protects both parties incase something happens. Also, typically you should be requiring a downpayment at the booking with the rest due in full by the rehearsal.
You need new friends!
Simple, don't give them any photos, not even online watermarked ones, until you get paid in full.
Did you sign a contract? No? Well let this be your lesson. Business is business, friends are friends. You can do them a mates rate but you always put the agreement in writing.
You should find yourself some new friends because no matter what they should have been professional if you're their friend or not and paid.
If you were my friend OP I would pay you extra for being even willing to spend the wedding taking photos and be thankful.

Bring them a toaster and then ask for your money.
This is exactly why you NEVER lend your friends money or offer them your professional services. Especially if you're a prostitute.
