wow.
well, its usually quite a list, actually.
TWO camera bodies. 6-8 lenses f/2.8 or faster.
about a dozen 16gig class 10 uh1 memory cards.
tripod, monopod, lenswipes, leatherman multitool, tons of spare batteries, softboxes, umbrellas, light stands, flashes, more batteries, bounce cards,
flash bracket, flash sync cord, extra camera batteries, battery chargers, quick release plates, camera bags, backdrop stands, backdrops, more batteries,
laptop.
im sure ive missed some stuff. someone else can flush out the list a little bit.
Ideally two full frame bodies, 35/1.4 and 85/1.4 primes, an f/2.8 or faster telephoto, two speedlights at least, a monolight or two. Black rapid straps or similar (don't use the neck strap that comes with the camera, you'll die), water LOTS OF WATER, and snacks too.
Oh, a second shooter and assistant as well.

6-8 lens are too much for 2 body, I think
example if you are at the church you don't want to waste time to change the lens everytime for a photo.. (no offense, this is just my opinion)
I am thinking about buying the 17-50 f2.8 tamron, and the 70-200 f4 for the another body, what do you think about it?

But what if you are alone? and no second shooter and assistant?
Only you, and 2 bodies and a few lenses?
What setup would you use?

you asked what were must HAVES. not must USE.
6-8 lenses is definitely NOT too much to bring. what do you do when you bring only 2 lenses, and something changes on location? why would you have to change lenses for every photo? I might use one lens for the ceremony, a different lens for the formal portraits. maybe two lenses for the formals. I might use different lenses for outside shots than inside shots.
if you only bring a minimal amount of gear for what you THINK will be all you will need for that shoot, you are setting yourself up for problems.
I bring EVERYTHING, and USE what I need.
what gets USED the most is my 17-50 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8
if you are going to get a 70-200, get the f/2.8, NOT the f/4. the first time you shoot in a low lit church where you cant use flash you will need the f/2.8

What setup would you use?
the setup is dependent on the shooting conditions.
without knowing exactly what the shooting environment is like (venue, lighting, and weather conditions) there is no way to tell you what setup we would use.
that's why I bring everything. when I get to the job, i pull out exactly what I will need for current conditions.
there is no magical "works for everything" setup.
closest I guess, would be one camera with a fast wide angle zoom, and another camera with a fast tele-zoom...
are you planning on shooting a wedding?
if so, I would rethink that decision. these are not the kinds of questions someone that has committed to photographing an event like a wedding should be asking.
not a lot of "do-overs" possible at a wedding. its a "sink or swim" deal.

Yeye, sorry my bad, just wanted to know, and what kind of lenses would you bring to the wedding?
Well, I don't have enough money yet for the 2.8 yet, but I don't know what to buy, is it worth the money? or just go buy a tamron/sigma 70-200 f2.8 for a lower price? dunno

lenses?
i bring a 17-50 f/2.8, 28-75 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8, 35mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, 180mm f/2.8
nothing wrong with going with tamron or sigma. I would say go with OEM equipment if you have the budget for it, but i have seen plenty of Pro's with top end gear that don't produce any better results than amateurs with cheaper third party gear. dont get hung up on the equipment brands, get hung up on using the gear to its best potential. My 70-200 f/2.8 is tamron and is a great lens. AF is fast, and optics are great. never had an issue with it. my primes are all Nikkor.
you can also look at used or refurb lenses to save some money.

Ye I know that.. thats why I want to know everything and rethink it a lot of times..
Don't you want to upgrade it to the nikkor, or the sigma/tamron is doing very well?
Are you contented with the image quality of your tamron 70-200? by the way does it have IS, right?
Ye I wanna but don't know if it's worth it, because I want to use the lens for a long time.. dunno if it's worth that to buy second hand lenses
