Of your 2 main bodies, are they:

1. Identical,
2. One ff, one crop
3. Both crop

Why that choice/combo ?
 
While I haven't done any weddings on my own yet, couple as a seconder, I shoot with with a FF (5D3) and crop (60D) as that seems to give me the best option of focal length variation with the lenses I've got. I did the service with primes only and the outside shots were a mix of primes and a 70-200 2.8 MkII for the last one.
 
The couple of weddings I did, i used a FF and 2x cropped. I actually used the crop more as it was a Canon 30D /40Dwith the Canon 17-55 f2.8 lens. I liked this combo as the lens is image stabilised. For the pics where I had more time, its was the FF 5D I used with prime lens.
 
5D2 and a 7D - Although I'd like a 5D3 to replace the 7D :)
 
I'm co-shooting for a friend in a couple of weeks. Will be using a D700 (FF) with 24-70 indoors and a D2X (crop) with 70-200 outdoors, with a bit of cross over in between I'm sure, especially if one of them gives up the ghost!
 
I now use 2 FF camera's. A D3 & D700.

I just had to sell my D90 as it just wasn't doing what I needed it to in dark churches. The extra reach was nice of the crop but I needed/wanted the better higher ISO capabilities of what my D700 had so just bought a D3 :)
 
Interesting choices chaps, keep 'em coming.
 
2 crops (well 4 in total inc spare)
But I would recommend identical bodies as it makes colour balancing easier in PP. (he says in the midst of PP'ing 2 weddings shot on 3 bodies each)

I could have written that :D

I was using a D700/D90 (might even have been a D300 :thinking:) and wanted to get another D700 for consistency and interchangability should the D700 fail, but in the end I got a D3 as the used price wasn't far off that of a new D700. Only problem is I could do with another D3 now as the D700 feels positively tiny after getting used to the D3, much like the D90 did with the D700.

Why did you have to go and say that!!!!!!!! :lol:

I do love my 700 though. But having a play with the D3 it is very nice!

The D90 does feel like a toy now compared to either the 700 or 3.

Eventually I want a D3s so the 700 may make way next year (or may even keep it as another back up!)
 
Currently 5Dmkiii x 2. With two 5Dmkii as spare.

Although I only have 3 at any one time.

I'm on a D700/D90 combo and while the last ones I did were in a well lit registry office I still find the limitations of the D90 compared to the D700 a bit frustrating and know it would be worse in a dark church. So I'd love another D700 - or even a D3 (is it a lot heavier?)
 
I rather shoot with 1 body with the crop as a back up rather than shooting them side by side.

The files produces by 2 cameras with vastly different files would drive me nuts in editing.
