I play in a wedding band and see loads of wedding photographers using a 24-70 lens as their main lens. It might not suit everyone's style of shooting, and of course wont cover all situations but there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to use one for weddings. Primes might be faster but they also have restrictions on them.
I really dont know where all this talk of primes is comming from as thats not what the OP is asking about.
Agreed 24-70L and 70-200L II (or respective Nikon counterpart) are widely used by professional wedding photographers. Most times you don't need to shoot at f/1.4 as they use flash anyway. F1.4 or F1.2 prime lenses at such wide open will be soft and pretty slow AF anyway. Photogs use such extreme shallow aperture for special effect but not in normal shooting.
