Just as a suggestion, you'll get more of them, I'm sure, I advise against using lenses that won't open up to at least f/2.8. They don't have to be top of the line lenses but they should be as good as you can afford and chosen with care. Yes, flash will help the light situation, but under wedding and reception conditions, you will find it darned hard to focus at f/4 or smaller. See the link in my previous email for lots of other stuff.
