BTW, I hope you are letting Brian have some of the fun buying stuff, you seem to have that air of "woman on a mission" 
Mind you I haven't been shooting weddings, but for my new digital crap (which seems to require a lot of extra junk), I got a Lowepro Magnum AW shoulder bag. I like LowePro bags. But even with only one consumer DSLR body (Olympus E-500) with 14-54 lens mounted, this bag is already heavy...with the big flash, flash power supply+batteries, 50-200 lens, duster, manuals (damned digital...things sure got complicated), plus all the other little extras. There's plenty of room for an extra body with lens mounted.

For weddings, it seems like it would be way more practical to have the commando-style vest harness system with individual bags mounted for each piece of gear, so you could comfortably carry all your gear without worrying about a bag being stolen from behind the DJ booth or back of the church...but you'd look like a dork, and when you stop to buy a few bags of Skittles on the way to the reception dressed in all black and combat webbing, the store clerk is likely to think he's being hit by terrorist...or the INS.
I like the LowePro gear, though, and have a bunch of their stuff, as well as a buggyload of other various cheapo bags/cases laying around here. My apartment is like a flea market. I should just put an eBay sign on the front door, and open up shop 9-5 so I can pay my rent.

. Of course, I didn't have my camera with me 
they taunt me and only do stuff when I can't take the pic and make some money on "Animals do the craziest things".
