Can you say EOS-1n or F5? Either camera has speedy AF down to an artform.
I've never really been bothered with the center-only AF sensor though.
It's just a case of knowing your equipment, experience and practice. As
far as the wedding couple is concerned, I always use two cameras for the
aisle shots: an OM-2S setup in vertical mode and the IS-3 for the
horizontals. I have prefocused the OM-2S on a pew and fire when the couple
reaches that point and then I whip the IS-3 up and take the second shot
while backpeddling down the aisle. The IS-3 nails the focus everytime and
only gives me about a half second delay at the very most. I use aperture
priority mode (to control flash/ambient ratios).
