Welcome to epz Chiara.
You have created an air of mystery but as Conrad said because nothing at all is sharp it doesn't quite come offand a longer shutter speed would have been better.
I find the baskets in the bottom left a little distracting, if she was just walking towards those dark figures I think it would have worked much better.
I like the way you have darkened the edges of the image and everything being a contrast to the white dress of the bride.
When I look closely I'm not sure whether there is a figure just in front of her, possibly the groom walking just ahead of her. If so it does give a different impression and I think I would have tried to lose it by just darkening the area that could be the side of a face just in front of hers.
It is never easy to do these grab shots because nothing is arranged for us and the clutter of daily life is everywhere. I think it was a good try to do something very different from the usual bride shots.

May I take this opportunity to welcome you to the wonderful and amazing world of ephotozine. Without doubt the best photographic website in the world, well in Europe anyway, I mean in the UK, ok in England then! I'm sure you will become addicted and a day will not pass by until you have had your daily fix!
An interesting picture, I have the feeling this was just a grab shot and that the longer shutter speed was deliberate. It certainly evokes an atmosphere and asks lots of questions. For your third upload this is quite a brave choice.
Enjoy ephotozine and enjoy your photography. I look forward to seeing some of your monochrome urban images on this site.
Ciao for now!

PS Just in case you are feeling homesick link
Hi and welcome to EPZ< stick around and enjoy...
think this was nicely seen, but doesn't quite work, mainly because of the points outlined above, but mainly I think because the bride is exactly in the middle of the pic. This tends to add to a sense of ststic-ness which goes against the feel of motion, of her walking away from the viewer. It's hard to tell if she's just standing still or moving, so I think overall a nice attempt thsat doesn't quite work
Keep them coming
