Wedding photography, what lens with a Canon 400D?

Hiya, as above im soon required as the photographer at a wedding (although still a slight amateur). I recently bought a USM 50mm Canon lens, which I totally love. As this is a very small range lens im not sure that it will be sufficient, more useful as a single portraiture headshot lens. Would it work at a wedding? If so, what setting should I use to increase the depth of field and allow it to focus on more than one person? At the moment, it gives such such sharp images of a foreground person/shape, but blurs the background. could I incorporate background and foreground with this lens, if so how?

Sorry for a ramble. What other lens would be suitable for shooting at a wedding, in the new type of reportage/documentary style?

Any other info on wedding shooting or general info would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Talia x
