Glad to see you back, hope you're better now.
I really like #1 and #3, both rather old-fashioned, romantic-type images and jolly good too. The original is fine compositionally but I'm certain needed the soft-focus to fit the occasion.
I have rarely used soft-focus and wouldn't know how to go about it in PS; it's the one thing for which I would revert to Picasa which has a very good filter - just a shame it's so aggressive in its treatment of the overall files!

I know a bank whereon a wild flower grows...
Welcome back! This is sweet and delightful. I guess V1 is the romantic option, but I favour V2 simply because the faces are so much stronger. The wild flower meadow is a wonderful idea, I wish more wedding photographers had that sort of imagination. These are the memories that the couple will treasure, after all.

Glad you're feeling better Tim. IMHO and I'm no expert, I like the the original best o/all as I feel the softening applied has left the BG on the other 2 looking a little washed out. Maybe it could be better if you applied the softening just to the skin tones. At the end of the day I would think It's down to the happy couple to decide which they like best. However, this is out of my comfort zone so please don't take too much notice.
