Now, why in the hell would anybody want to take on a wedding with the slower 18-55 and 70-300mm lenses as they are slower than molasses and you're screwed if you can't use flash.

Now if you shoot with one lens...a 50mm f1.8, all your shots will have that same look to to every picture. What sets a pro from everybody else apart is the quality lenses in the bag and the knowledge of shooting a wedding.
Agree here ... but I think some of this may come down to the knowledge of camera equipment by the couple getting married too. I don't know if they'll be able to notice or care if the pictures have "that same look" to each of them. Photogs would notice it but friends of mine who just got married certainly wouldn't.

Other than that, a lens to handle the low light, a flash, and maybe even a warm diffuser for the gray days would be absolutely necessary.
