I have probably shot over 60 DSLR weddings and I've never used the 70-200mm. It's too big and bulky for me. I use the 85mm 1.8 and the 135mm 2.0 which are better under low-light.

I had a wedding where the Best Man hid a quarter in his hand. When he went to hand the "ring" to the bride, he dropped the quarter on the wood floor alter. It was classic.
