A lensbaby at a wedding? That has to be tricky... :-)
I'd have to say my 50mm 1.8 most of the time.

a 24-70mm f/2.8 is widely regarded as a must-have for wedding shoots.
Personally, once the Pentax 16-50mm f/2.8 comes out (with Ultrasonic AF and weather-sealing).. THAT will be a favorite :)
Not that I do weddings anymore... EVER. (on purpose)

The Canon 24-70 2.8L is my most used lens. The 70-200 2.8L IS is my most favorite lens. :-)
Some day I'd like to try the lensbaby. Not during any of the important parts of the wedding / reception. Just for candids and such.

I use the 50mm 1.4 most, but love to pull out the lensbaby for fun shots and the 100mm for really cool bokeh.

Yeah, well I obviously am not using the lensbaby for important shots! I can see it now...

Those two are my most favorites at weddings as well. Then I use my 16-35mm f/2.8L and the 15mm f2.8 Fisheye. |

I just bought a Tamron 17-35. I've used it for bridals already, hope to give it a try at the wedding in two weeks. And I've rented the Canon 15mm Fisheye on several occasions. It doesn't do much for a 20D, but on the 5D it looks great! Some day I'll buy one, but in the mean time, I'm hoping to get some good wide angles out of this Tamron.

Favorite, as in most used? Sigma 18-50 2.8
Favorite, as in the images you get? tamron 70-210 2.8
next on my list to get is the tamron 28-75 2.8, mostly for receptions and backup, and the canon 10-22 for 'atmosphere' shots.
