I think it depends what you are doing with the flash and your shooting style to asses whether it's "fast enough".
AA powered flashes typically take a while to recharge after outputting half and full power. I have that Vivitar also and I only use it in certain cases.

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
There are some nice wedding pictures there. I too would hate to carry that thing for 8 hours straight. 85mm 1.4 is great but I think for wedding, it's only really useful for posed session, but to cover everything else in wedding in general, I would think something like 17-50mm f/2.8 will suit it better.

You really need two body's. Changing lenses in a fast paced situation like that is hard. Of course if you're not used to carrying 1 around the whole day, you probably better exercise or work your way up to the weight of 2. Help would be smart. I don't see how 1 person can cover a wedding.

We had 3 people doing the wedding, none of us carried two bodies, we just had different lenses on. One guy with a super wide, me with a tele, and the other with a 24-70 L <--he was also changing between this and the 70-200 2.8 IS instead of lugging two bodies even though he had another one in his bag. The reason is simple, it can get very tiring after awhile I am by no means not fit/thin.
I only shot 17-50 during preperation, after that, it was kept in the bag. I intend to being 3 lenses next time, 50mm, 85mm, and 80-200. I'm gonna sell off the 17-50 soon.
Final batch of the pictures that I uploaded yesterday:

Yeah if you have a few people, there's no need to carry two bodies. I'm just saying if you were one person, it's certainly a possibility. Indeed it's not for everybody. I tried it out on my recent trip though with a still and video camera mounted on my stroboframe and I kind of enjoyed it. I'd say it wasn't too bad weight wise as they were sort of light rigs each.
Looks like some nice pics
The dress in these events are hard to take. It seems a bit blown out.

that's the thing with wedding gown, you either expose the skin properly, which I always do, or keep everything within the dynamic range, which will result in underexposed people unless flash is used <- which I never had a chance . Did I mention that it was a wet wedding? lol we only had like 15-20 mins of dry-time to capture those formal shots.
For some reasons I only thought of capturing full body shot that day, I should have zoomed in closer for waist up shots...bleh next time I guess
oh BTW, i've had this idea in my mind for some time now....has anybody tried using IR torch light for AF assist? they are invisible to human eyes but the camera will see it. I was just wondering if it will affect the meter's reading. I'm planning to burn 10 bucks on ebay to experiment this
