People often advocate getting a second body so that you don't have to hold up the proceedings to swap lenses or memory cards or whatnot. You might also want to consider getting the 50mm 1.4, which might be a little more versatile for lighting conditions that you have no control over.

As a second shooter.
As for your kit - it's probably adequate but ideally you'd want a 24-70 2/8 and perhaps something longer than 135mm. The 50mm 1.8 you have is ok but it hunts a bit on low light and manual focusing is a pain. Oh, and when you drop it on the dance floor during a lens change it explodes!
A second body and flash are also mandatory because if either fail you're done for.
