They say that there isn't not too much time to play with MF lenses at venues such as weddings or so..

I shot some potraits before the wedding using mostly Sigma 30/1.4 on the K20d and 85/1.8 Takumar on the istDs.
In the potraiture work I find the MF lens to slow down the process a bit, but sometimes it's a good thing, as you get to think more.
On candids taken with a tele lens the use of MF lenses isn't really a problem in my opinion as specially if there enough light available and the situations are not changing that rapidly.
I took a change during the ceremony and decided to use the Tamron 30A instead of Pentax DA50-200 AF-lens which would have been faster to operate. I find the rendering of the Tamron is just so much better even if there would have been enough light for the AF-lens . I guess the gamble paid out, since there was only couple of misfocused photos, and I shot almost the whole ceremony with tele due to the place I had to be situated. Previously I've used the lens for candids, but not this critical ones. On the other camera I had 17-70 for wideangle shots.
So to summarize an answer...
I find that MF-lenses suit well for candids in weddings, but there isn't that much time to play around in the critical moments, so one should know what to do in those kind of situations. Most likely if I had an AF tele like Tamron 30A, I would have used that.

Your friend must be pleased with your captures.
Good idea with an outdoor winter wedding ceremony, but a bit of a hazard this time of the year i guess.

Nope, it's a MF 80-200/2.8 zoom.

Thanks no-X! But that's just too much
The outdoor wedding went as well as it could have had due to the great weather, that plays a big role in the photos and shows.

Balcony and no flash seems like a hard combo to crack, specially if the church is not well lit. Hard to get interesting shots?
But I see some little helpers in your signature, D3 and 5d must help the situation greatly? I can use ISO6400 only in my dreams with K20d and ISO3200 is not that great .
Please show some samples?
