Looks like you're pretty set for most any shooting.

My concern is regarding the wedding. Are you attending as a guest or as a photographer? if the former, just pack the G10. If the latter, then bring the whole thing.

I could be wrong, but I'd say as the best man, you'll too busy to really put most of the equipment to proper use. I'll second OsmosisStudios... take the G10 and enjoy the wedding.

Definitely just bring the G10. You wont have the time, space or need for anything more intense.

Thanks guys for the recommendation. G-10 it is for the wedding. I will be going there a few days early, so I may just take the 7D with the 17-55mm lens to take a few pics of the area while I sight see as that won't be a problem to carry with me..
