Lol @ recommending the D50 to someone who says the 400D AND 30D aren't enough for him. Seriously, stop being fanboys and start thinking. It's especially pathetic that you're fanboys for the D50 or the D80.. ugh.
Anyway, you might want to look at the more expensive section.. think Canon EOS 5D. If the hefty price is too much for you, there's always payment by instalments.
Its resolution, viewfinder brightness (anyone who has held a tiny DSLR and then a pro-level cam will understand easily), ease of use, choice of gear and most of all, performance, are perfect for weddings.
As for lighting, you'll most certainly be needing at least one external flash (mounted on the camera), but for wedding photos (not only) indoors a second one (off-camera) is convenient as well.
As for lenses, high quality zooms dominate the wedding scene. Of course there's the occasional f/1.8 85mm for portraits, but from what I know, the f/2.8 24-70mm and f/2.8 70-200mm seem to dominate. If you have the time (and cash) for primes, bright 35mm, 50mm and as I said, 85mm lenses are great.
I'm obviously a Canon user (5D, 350D + a bunch of glass) so I don't know that much about Nikons. The D200 seems great though, it's not full-frame, but it's much cheaper than the 5D. It's certainly a superb camera, especially if you want quality for price
