I don't get it. I'd take any standard zoom (16-45, 18-55 etc) over a superwide for a wedding.

I take a super wide with me for shots inside the limousine. That's all it gets used for.

Stick with lenses in and around somewhat wide to short telephoto and 95% of anything I've ever shot at a wedding is covered.
There is one church here that can benefit from a very long lens, I've used a 300mm (on 35mm film) on a few occasions there.
With digital, I use the 15 and 21 rarely, the 31 mostly, and the short teles (55/1.4, 70 or 77) are purpose lenses, except for the formal portraits where they are goto lenses.

I would take all of them - just in case! Aren't you always supposed to have backups?

No, not necessarily. At a wedding I recently did (all by myself without asking questions on here first - aren't I brave? ) I was restricted to two spots where I could stand during the ceremony, no feet zooming at all, lots of lens zooming though luckily.

You might have some trouble with 28mm being your widest lens.

And you WILL need the flash for the indoor reception.
