lot's of people over the years shot weddings with Bronica ETR 645 and SQAi (6x6) all manual focus, likely the exposures were done manually as well the big negs guaranteed good quality and the cameras were (are) workhorses so you don't need the AF of a 5d, though I think I would lean towards a K5/K7 for weddings with a grip
For some reason weddings now in a lot of cases fall into the spray and pray category with an insane number of raw images to sort after. Older more experienced wedding guys probably walk away at the end of the day with 8-1200 images max vs the several thousand some 2 shooter teams seem to take. i used to fall prey to the shoot tons at events i was covering and found the post work insane for the small number of images i actually used. i now shoot about a quarter of what i did when i first shot digital and a lot closer to what i shot when i used film. still get more than enough good images but now i focus on waiting for the moment and immerse my self in whats happening

this is a good argument as to why a FF may be better even with less resolving glass. It's a very informative site in general if you want to understand the specifics of sharpness and the differences in formats. that being said sharpness is not the only consideration depends on the job

Excellent argument
and does anyone agree with the first place choices
I have Pro friends who shoot pretty much anything you care to name (including an Israeli chick who shoots fashion mostly with an assortment of Holgas)
As for the DOF argument if you are shooting and being properly compensated you will find a way to get the 645D for location work (excluding fast action sports then you truly will end up canikon in all likelyhood for the lenses available) or if you are studio probably a tethered phase one system or even a leica s2 if they ever manage to produce more than a couple of lenses a month.
I can also see a 645D with tethering showing up at some point.
Don't worry about your purchase go learn your craft and how to market yourself and by the time you need something consistently that you aren't able to get with your pentax gear you will be able to afford to add that second system (in the interim most good rentals also offer bodies for rent for those one offs where you need a FF canikon or a medium format digital)
