T111 will last a long time with a little attention to detail. The house we bought came with a 12x12' shed sided with painted T111. Judging by the trees that had grown up around it and Romex stamped 1998, about 20 years old. I had to replace the panels on one gable side and rebuild the doors 5 years ago when we moved in, they had rotted on the bottom where the water splashed up during the rain. No gutters or overhang, so worst of both worlds. The Z flashing is a good idea, the front of the shed is original and solid.
I'll second the suggestion to reinforce the joints with vertical 2x4s. Help to keep your panels from warping and pulling apart as they dry.
Another thing to consider, if your wedding venue idea really takes off you may want to build a bigger or more custom building down the track and repurpose this one as a shop or something. That would be one awesome shop! This a tractor forum after all
