I am an amateur and have done a few very small weddings. I have a Canon 7D and I always use my 24-105 lens for these occasions because I can always count on getting quality photos.

Come down to how much light you will have and how close you will be or care to be. I like the 50mm just because it is a nice, small, light and gives you pretty much what the human eye see. The down side may be you have to be willing to move around a little and get in close - don't be shy.

24-105mm. Allows you to "melt" into the background and let the guests be more spontaneous.

I think the 24-105 would be adequate for all shots, including close-ups (there is 50mm range in there, remember). But having a separate 50mm lens is a good idea because it probably is a little faster. My 50mm is a 1.8, and I plan to take it as a second lens to my next shoot. PS: If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about....I really don't, but IMHO, you can't go wrong with either. I have the 24-105 just because I am an amateur and can totally rely on it. Good luck!
