Free website hosting is an option.
Word of mouth is always useful
You can check out smaller newspapers, because they charge less

It shouldn’t cost much to print up some colored flyers and pass them around and post them. You could also place an add in your local paper (it will cost you some money but not much). Some local grocery stores have bulletin boards where you can post an advertisement.
A word of advice, most people need to keep a full time job when first starting out, if not the entire time. You can do that though because most weddings are after the regular work hours. Good Luck!

That is exactley what I did four years ago.
First off get a business license, its important to be legal.
Second advertise on free listings like Craig’s list
Third get a myspace page that is free and you can display your work there until you can get something else together.
Fourth find an album vendor that you like, its important to have products like album selections to display your work for meetings. I use albumsinc.com
Fifth have fun and enjoy it, its a great way to make a living
As the money comes in you can expand into local listings on yahoo and google if you still do not have a website.
By the way, a website can cost under 100 dollars if you buy a template from template monster and have a little html knowledge.
One last thing: sierrabride.com and partypop.com offer free vendor listing. There are dozens of sites that take free listings for photographers just google search wedding photography in your region and the look through for free vendor listings. Good luck!

Do a search for wedding coordinators in your area and arrange a meeting with as many of them as possible to show your portfolio. Let them know you’re just entering the business and are willing for work for a discount for the first 2 or 3 people they refer to you, just so that you can get your name out there and improve your portfolio. Hopefully when they have a client who needs a photographer but is looking to limit their expenses, they’ll give you a call, and you’re on your way!

You’re off to a good start already! You need a portfolio to show people, and it would be better to have several weddings in it.
A website is a good idea, it doesn’t have to be that expensive, web hosting is actually pretty cheap, it’s the web page design that’s expensive.
Are there ‘wedding stores’ in your area? Places where they sell/rent all kinds of stuff for weddings? We have places like that. You might get them to put an ad for you on the wall, or to recommend you if someone asks.
