Was at a family wedding on Saturday and had my camera gear in the car. I was planning on taking a few candids at the reception. (I wasn't the photog, who was, incidentally, a family friend just using a P&S camera). I didn't want to upset the photographer by bringing out some big equipment but after about half an hour I asked if he minded if I took a few photos. He actually sounded relieved that someone else was there to help. Here's a few (unprocessed) images:

i like your first shot, its so innocent looking, even though there is no eye contact in it, i think it makes it a unique shot! and wow, she was a beautiful bride! no doubt she and her new husband will both be very happy you decided to take a few shots!! very nice of you. well done!

I agree with bigsarg7, that first image is a standout, sharp, great crop and smooth bokeh.....

You captured some interesting expressions
and moods. I find informal photographs more
telling of the personality of the subject than
formal portraits. I think they were very lucky
to have you there with a ready camera...
The only suggestion I can offer is to crop tightly
the photograph with the bride and groom dancing
an remove that ugly bar as much as you can. It can
even work better as a black and white.
