Hello Allison,
I'll chime in - I shoot a fair number of weddings. If this wedding
will pay for the lens, you will have much more opportunity to shoot
the 50 at the wedding, as opposed to the fisheye. If you will be
getting the lens after the wedding, then much more difficult decision.
During my film shooting days, I had the 17-28 fisheye zoom (much like
the 10-17 fisheye zoom now. I found it very fun to shoot with, but
after awhile, it got a little old. The 50 would be used over and
over and over again. So I recommend the 50 at this time, if you
can't get both.

Best regards,
