The 70-200 f2.8 seems like such a great lens, it sucks its a little pricey. And honestly, I don't know if I'm going to stay with Nikon or not I think I'm rapidly out growing the D60, and so far don't have enough invested in lenses to not consider switching. So spending that much on a lens is killing me.
The wedding starts 2 p.m. so I'm hoping that most of my shots will not need a flash, Of course I don't have a flash either(other than on-board), will using the on camera flash be that terrible?? I was looking at the SB-600. What kind of advantages will this flash give me for the wedding. I understand the reason for the fast 2.8 lens is very good in low light while maintaning a good shutter speed. So you don't need to be flashing peoples faces off all night.

Le Camera is a great shop. The guys are really knowledgable, I think one of them shoots weddings. I prefer driving 45 minutes to shop there even than using B&H when it's ten minutes away in the city.
But yeah, at 2 pm you don't "need" the speed except for DoF. Rent a 70-200 or even 180/2.8, though it's nice to be flexible at a wedding with a zoom. But in daylight if you're having to ask what lenses to use, you're best off focussing on gear you know how to use well and capturing good moments. Most brides I've met don't give a hell about depth of field but really, really care about how good their smile is on their wedding day!
