Make that two camera bodies, two f/2.8 zooms, and *two* flashes.
If there were faster zooms available, they'd be getting those...

I neglected to see the 'weddings' part of your desires for the new lens(es).
For $350 there isn't enough to satisfy that requirement with both speed and versatility.
It would have to be at least 2 zooms, and 2 zooms of excellent quality, such as DA* variety.
Otherwise, you'd be going for a fast fifty or the Tamron, but neither on their own would suffice for weddings (unless you were a #2 or 3 shooter).

Yep, can't go wrong with 28-75, or if you wanted a wider focal range (similar to what you have already) Tamron's 17-50 would do well also.
If it weren't for the budget, you could keep the 18-55 and add the DA* 50-135, assuming you're after low-light abilities for portraiture.
Zooms are versatile, but if you're happy with zooming with your feet, then an FA 50/1.7 is as good as you'll get for best value low light lens.
