A 50mm lens my oh did a wedding with a 50mm, 18-55mm and 70-250mm. Watch out for flash less ceremony's though. Good luck with it.

I'd also recommend a 50mm lens as they can be bought relatively cheaply, their very wide aperture is superb for low light and shallow depth of field (also known as a blurry background) and optically their image quality is usually far better than zoom lenses in a similar price range.
