You will never find a report written by an intelligent person saying the 135mm lens is a good choice for wedding portraiture.

I think the term portraiture is a little more fuzzy these days and I am thinking candid rather than formal portraits predominantly in fields forests outside venues etc where there is room to move, and I'm looking for sharp shots with beautiful bokeh.

I am not interested in the 70-200 F2.8 II purely due to its weight and have become less of a fan of zooms in recent times, i now use my 24 35 and 85 in place of the much heavier and certainly less quality 24-70 2.8L which i previously used, and i always have two bodies one holstered ready to go so don't need the flexibility of a zoom. My second photographer uses the 24-105 and 70-200 so i always have backups in emergencies situations.

I am however pretty sure you will find many intelligent people using the 135mm for wedding portraiture, its just possibly your idea of the word 'Portrait' which needs to be defined.
