What camera body do you have and what lenses do you own already? There is no such thing as a 'best lens', but the lens might be best for your needs.

For what it's worth, the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a very decent wide angle lens for 1.6 crop cameras. Some might say it's the best option for ultra wide angle. I wouldn't use it for weddings though, but imo, if you need to ask which lens to use for a wedding, you have no business shooting weddings at a professional level... What do you think the ratio of professional photographers to enthusiasts is at an average wedding? 1 in 50 maybe? The unholy trinity:

Depends on your style of shooting and what you're trying to accomplish. If this is your only lens, absolutely not. But it can be used in combination with other lenses. I know plenty that use it.

You Certainly have have no business making that assumption... It's not a valid assumption to think the OP is shooting professionally, but the comment isn't wrong through. If I heard my photographer say that he'd be fired on the spot

You Certainly have have no business making that assumption... There's a distinction between "shooting weddingS" (note the plural) and shooting a friend's or family member's wedding. In the first case, this would probably imply an inventment with a (semi) professional intent. Some of my lenses focus beyond infinity...!

If you need less of the wide angle and a bit more of the other end, the 24-70L is good. I personally would not recommend a flash because sometimes the flash is a bit obtrusive if you know what I mean Photography is like women, they're both expensive to support and you'll never completely understand them.

I never shot a single wedding, but I'd not use it as my only lens, and if a 10-22 is already stretching his budget, I'm pretty sure a 50L would be overkill.
