Personally I think if you are going to shoot a wedding you should have both a walk around and a telephoto and have them on two separate bodies. You gotta move quick and you should have both setups to ensure you get that shot every time.

If I HAD to go with one lens, I would be on the 70-200mm side. That lens lets you pick people out of a crowd with ease.

I would get the 70-200. Take pics from a distance where people don't know that you're shooting at all.

Print pics
Show people
People's jaw drops (OMG I didn't even know you're taking pics)
? ? ? ?
Profit?
