Re: 24-70mm/2.8 first, then 70-200/2.8

Thanks for your input and everyone's input!
The other thing that has been bothering me is that I already have a 50mm 1.4 which I use during prep for the bride and groom. So do I really have to get the 24-70mm first? Or go for the big boy zoom first?

As for the speedlite? I am getting the 430 ex ii soon. Soon! Haha.

No, you should still get the 24-70 first, since you can cover just about every aspect of a wedding with it, including close up portraiture.
