You do understand that at f1.4 your DOF is exceedingly thin, don't you? If not, there's the bulk of your problem right there.

So does anyone know anyone who actually braves weddings with their Pentax equipment? Is it even possible given the really rapid nature of a wedding shoot and the camera's poor af ability.

We have a nice long thread on this very question which appears just a very short space down the page from your question.
