    For what it's worth from an amateur.. I think the picture has too much softening.

    The color is no where near what a sepia toned photo should look like if you were going for that effect. This is way too yellow/golden. If you want a sepia look you need to tone it down a lot. Though at this point to salvage it, black and white would probably be better.

    The groom isn't even looking at the camera, which really detracts the attention in the photo... and only the brides face appears to be in focus, I'm a bit distracted and disturbed that her body appears so soft and blurry. Also not a big fan of the feet being chopped off.

    sorry, I am goin gto be blunt here..nothing works for me here except the lovely smile on the brides face. you have massive blown highlights (white areas lose all detail), clipped blacks (blakc areas lose all detail), the montone processing is way too dark and leave everything looing muddy, finally the image is very very soft.

    i'm with Qarik...
    though, her smile flat out scares me. The pic would do well being an ad for some black humor, low budget movie.
    the image feels underexposed by a good bit. Blacks are taking over the image.

    Post the original image. lets take a look at what your tutorial had you do. This image, tho not the most pleasing, may be salvageable.
