ok... the EOS 17-55 is nice, and for weddings cool... get a 580ex for weddings, and learn to bounce flash...
the Sigma 70-200 might be recalibrated, but in my experience, sigma's for Nikon seemed to be more likely to accurately focus than sigma's for Canon, even if re-calibrated...
If the Sigma is IS/VR/whatever-they-call vibration reduction, it may be worth $$ to try recalibration, as a 70-200 F2.8 with vibration reduction is a wedding photographer's goldmine lens....
Otherwise, I'd get a 85 1.8 or at least a 50 1.8 as you need some sort of low-light F1.8 semi-telephoto for a wedding.... and a backup body, annother 40D is pretty cheap....
Have fun doing weddings.... it's most fun as a second shooter, you don't have to take responsiblity for Everything....
