To be honest, she does look a little too well-cooked in the latter picture. Flicking between the two pictures, I can see some areas you have improved (for example removing a spot from the boy's forehead and whitening his teeth) but the work on the girl seems a bit heavy and it looks like she is wearing stage make up.

You could overlay the new version on top of the old one and then use a layer mask to paint in the changes more subtlely.

I like the new boy's beauty (cleaner skin, fixed teeth's whiteness, awesome new eyes, ...).

To add to what Wulf said, i think the groom's clothes had its colors washed down in the PP and the white seems now a tad overexposed.

The boy looks great! I'd try and decrease the shine points too (but I can get carried away )
