Thanks for the replies, everyone!!
I think I'm going to try a hybrid of y'all's ideas.
I'm going to rent a 5Diii, and a 70-200 f/2.8 IS ii, and a prime (yet to choose) between:
35L f/1.4 (good for wedding party shots on FF?)
135L f/2 (If I get this, I'll have to use my 7D/17-55 2.8 for the wide shots...)
85 f/1.8 or 85L f/1.2 (If I get this, I'll have to use my 7D/17-55 2.8 for the wide shots...)
(or I'll get 2 primes).
What combo would you guys rent?
Not sure what body I'll use the 70-200 on for the ceremony. Perhaps on the 5Diii, and have my 7D with my 17-55 2.8. (Or the prime). Or perhaps I'll use the 70-200 on the 7D for more reach, and use the 5Diii with the prime for better IQ/bokeh.
What I'll have:
(1) Wife, also shooting shots! (great eye for shots but technical newbie: She'll get a lot of candids and deco shots. I'm teaching her the basics of aperture, ISO, shutter speed, composition, and flash use/bouncing)
(1) 40D
(1) 7D
(1) 5Diii
(2) 4GB CF
(4?) 16GB CF
(1) 32GB SD (for backup in 5Diii)
(1) Manfrotto Tripod / fluid video head (may not do any video)
(2) Promaster 7500 EDF flashes & (2) globe diffusers
(2) 9' flash stands and umbrellas (should I shoot through or bounce?)
(2) batteries per camera + 2 chargers
(16) Eneloop AA batteries / charger
EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS
EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS ii
(a NICE rental prime) (TBD)
EF 50 f/1.8
Kiron 105 f/2.8 macro
EF-S 17-85 4-5.6 IS (probably won't use at all)
misc:
orange gels for flashes, honeycomb flash modifier, fold-out reflector.
