Whats your budget?
at this point i dont think money is an option. I need to buy what is needed.I have the 16-85 VR f/3.5 and 70-300 VR f/3.5.
Both of them work great for me. I am fast working towards replacing both of them with f/2.8 tamron lenses. the 17-50 and 70-200. Add in a 1.4X or 2X Teleconverter, I think I will have a pretty decent set up along with the 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor I have.
I have some events I shoot that restrict flashes. The f/3.5 just doesn't cut it, and the 50mm prime just doesn't work when things are within 15 feet.
That and $5 will get you a coffee at Starbucks
+1 and add a SB-900 and at least a D300 to the list and get two of each lens so you have backups. You can use the D90 as backup to the D300 for a while. Successful wedding photographers have backups for EVERYTHING.If money is not a concern, go for the trifecta.
Nikkor 17-35 2.8
Nikkor 24-70 2.8
Nikkor 80-200 2.8
You can't go wrong with that setup... though you are looking at around $4000.

But, you're on the path and have taken the steps to get started so keep learning. With photography it never stops.
Right now I am sticking to D90 until I get more pennies together. And 2 of everything is a little extreme for my taste.+1 and add a SB-900 and at least a D300 to the list and get two of each lens so you have backups.
