#1, I don't like a straight on back of the head look, as he looks kinda static. You could have him kiss her on the neck as she gazes toward would create some energy.
#4, it looks like the sun is hitting the dude in the eyes.
#7, it's a bit centered, so next time just move it off a bit so it wouldn't be dead in the middle.
I like #1 the best... her eyes are amazing! I would consider cropping it to verticle right in the middle of his head. That would put her eyes-the subjects- in the upper right corner instead of the center. But her eyes are gorgeous in that shot. Besides, there is something strange about the processing of his head... I am not sure what, but I would like to see less of it.

Yeah, I played with several different crops of that one and sort of settled on what you see above. I think I like your suggestion best though...what do you think? Is that what you had in mind? As far as his head goes...not really sure. I didn't really process it that much....a little exposure and of course I sharpened her eyes a bit.
I like this crop a bunch more, but would have perhaps left the top of her head. It is such a fun photo!
I think I figured out what is what with the processing of his head. It is slightly over exposed, and so all the shadow details are flat. I realise you did that in order to do what you did with her eyes....
Why not lasso him and set the black point?
Like this: Though it really brings out that dark place on his collar.... almost like you had burned it earlier. That could easily be finessed to be better with a little more PS time.

yeah...good idea. I like it a lot better now. Thanks. I still have TONS to learn.
I'll echo what has been said already (I love the new crop!) and add a few things....
Generally speaking, don't run horizons through heads #1 & 2
In #2 it looks like the groom is posing for someone else's camera and you shouted at the bride to get her to look over.
Wait a minute for the boat to move in #3 or recompose. No boats coming out of heads.
In shots like #5, you probably want to keep the background consistent- the beige door (?) on the far right doesn't add to the photo. Move the groom in tighter and re shoot.
in #8 the couple blends in too much with the background. Lots of chaos back there and they just don't pop out (again things going through the head)

totally agree here. I would crop it vertical closer so that it draws you straight to her eyes. I like your shots!

I really like #8.

Disappointed with AF of Tamron 28-75 2.8, me less happy.
