I agree with Brightcolors. The combo he suggested would be most useful and practical.
My wedding lens set-up consists of a 15-30mm, 28-75mm, 85mm, and 70-200mm. In my opinion, fast lenses are useful at a wedding because of the better low light auto-focus performance they offer, not narrow depth of field. The wide focal lengths can usually be hand-held in focus at a slower shutter speed and the depth of field of focus is generally very wide, so focus accuracy is not "as critical" with these lenses. I generally would rather shoot at a higher iso at f5.6 or f4 and make sure I have the shot in focus as opposed to shooting at f2.8 or wider.
