I'd figure out what you actually need first and the best way to do that is to use your existing kit in a situation and then find out in retrospect what kit would have made that particular situation better / easier.

As for weddings, some people just use a 35mm Prime by all accounts...

It's not really about the kit, it's about how you use it.

Cheers,

Mark.

Without doubt, that's the best possible answer.

If you really must spend now, if I were you I would consider a 6D and probably 24-105 - the 6D would give you the backup camera you will need in the long run, hugely better low light performance (such that you can get away with f4 instead of f2.8 very easily), and you might well find the slight weight reduction suits your normal shooting better too.
