If i was you, I just use what ever I get with one backup body and one main body. look like you have only one leica body with 2 lens. use that two lens. it will cover all you ever one. for portrait of couple to few peerson in frame, 90mm will take care of it. for group and candid, 35mm will take care of it. make sure you bring with you a flash and couple roll of fast speed film for indoor shot. I did 2 wedding with my friends. 2 camera bodies 4 lens total with 4 flashes head. 1 nikon FM2n with 24mm + 105mm lens. 1 leica M6ttl with 35mm lens + 135mm elmarit lens. 1 flash for each camera and with 1 flash setup on tripod for off camera flash bouce addon. this is the best part, I wind up to use only leica m6ttl with 35mm lens and 2 flash after i did all of the 4 persons portrait pictures. so bring a lot of equipment does not help but what help is a equiptment you know it well.
