take it you are shooting a wedding?
the lav mics on the bride and groom are so that you can record their vows and "i dos" or the minister even. the recorder could be external or you can get things to plug straight into your camera. there are lots of ways to do it but it all comes down to what works best for you

Read that. I just researched this for like a good week. Tons of time reading about audio and dslrs. The cheapest way to get good audio with 2 wireless mics would be a portable recorder like a Tascam dr-40 or the Zoom H4n. I chose the Tascam because it's $100 dollars better, has better pre-amps (not really a huge deal), and has locking XLR ports. The recorder can be mounted on your hot shoe on the top of your camera. Both recorders can record on 4 channels. You can record off your recorder a stereo track, and two wireless mics. So a stereo track and two mono tracks from the wireless mics. You can run a mix of your tracks into your camera but with 4 tracks going your gonna want to sync in post. Use a clap or snap to help or get Pluraleyes which does it for you. If you get a recorder make sure you get a windscreen too. Hope that helps some.

I have really good luck with this inexpensive lav http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/3656-REG/Azden_WLX_PRO_WLX_Pro_Wireless_Lavalier.html at shorter ranges (50 feet or less). Also instead of a Zoom recorder research Magic Lantern firmware (if you have an SLR) you can acheive really good audio with a field mixer and save yourself the time of syncing up all the audio later
