It just dawned on me you've got to fly to this.  You might have to downsize 
what you can carry-on.  If so, here's what I'd leave behind with IMHO the 
least needed items listed first:
180/2.8 . . . big, heavy and least likely to be used, especially for an 
outdoor affair.
85/2 . . . 35-105 covers its focal length.
28/2 . . . next least likely to use; never needed this short except for a 
very few specialty shots.
F280 . . . on the fence with this one, but with two T-32's

The things I would definitely want to have:
Both camera bodies
35-105/3.5~4.5
50/1.2
Both T-32's
BG2
Winder

My "burn rate" when I was shooting weddings as the "hired gun" was about 50 
frames per hour and consumed 10-12 rolls of film (36 exp per roll for 35mm; 
30 exp per roll for 220 in the 645).  Never started with less than 15 rolls 
of 35mm and 2 rolls of 220.
