are they THAT bad? No comments at all? Oh well...

Hello! I think these are great...is he a fireman? In the kissing shots, I wished that their lips were more "committed" ...seemed a bit timid (7 and 1). Loved her face reflection in the truck #4, that's very clever. Just my 2 cents.

I like them. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, one thing to flatter her more at the wedding: tell her to drop her chin a bit when you have her in a photo like the last one. Or raise the camera a little to avoid that double chin effect. Otherwise, lovely stuff!

Some of these appeal to me a lot. Your compositions and framing can be interesting and distinct, you have a certain flair.

It's a personal thing, I don't like to see kissing in these kinds of shots, not the lip kissing with a suggestion of "desire". It's too personal for me, belongs in the privacy of the bedroom. (Exception is the formal bride and groom kiss after the vows.) There are less "intimate and wet" ways the emotion of love can be expressed. ##4, 8 & 9 do just that!

I also don't like less-than-democratic attention being paid to the female part of the pair - preference for fully showing the lady's face only, by cropping out most of the man, or not letting him show his face to the same value as the lady, or not at all, even!

#4 is good for that reason, too. You have found an interesting way to show both faces equally. They are shown equally in ##8 & 9, and this adds so much to a feeling of genuine affection and harmony.
