Crop/clone out the OOF foreground elements bottom and bottom right and the walking guy in the background and this is perfection in a wedding shot, right down to the tilted perspective!
Kudos

Great photo but why the skewed angle?

I like that the color in this photo is not overwhelming. Excellent selective desat

Love the angle, desaturation! Too bad he's squinting though - bottom right is a bit distracting .... 9

The look on the groom's face is a little strange, which is unfortunate. Other than that, this is a PERFECT image. Your tonal range is beautiful and it's what wedding photography really should always look like! Beautiful! 8

Nice halo on their heads from the backlighting. Good diagonal composition here too.

...just seems like to many "things" going on in the picture, the tilt, selective coloring, etc....plus the guy doesn't look to pleased.

I just love the cepia tones. And I also just love how crisp and sharp it is. Awesome photo.

Nicely composed shot. The back lighting is tough, but it looks like oversharpening made matters worse with aberrations along the edge o the man's face and trouser leg.

Legs in background are very distracting. Selective desat seems a little tacky here. Groom's expression isn't too flattering.

There isn't much to say about the photo, technically, as it's very very nice. I'm not partial to the bouquet being colored, though, but that's me. What I did want to point out is that the bride looks stellar, but the groom looks squinty and short. I can't tell if this is a candid in the park or you're doing wedding photography (it looks candid, what with the bushes in the foreground...I hide in the bushes to get my shots too ;) just kidding!) Anyway, it's a nice shot, but that's what stuck out for me, his squinty shortness :)
