What makes this special for me is the small boy bottom left taking you to the couple and then the variety of other facial expressions in the shot as your eye wanders over the composition. Might be worth a trim from the RHS and maybe the top to concentrate just a bit more on the couple plus a little sharpening and noise reduction though. Well grabbed shot.
I think this photo is funny (unintentionally I believe). Everybody is focused on other things than the happy couple. The two boys in front could be a subject. The faces of the couple plus the woman to the right of the groom could be a subject. You could have fun with this photo. Only the little boy is looking at the couple.

There is so much to study in this photo. An absolutely marvelous scene!
Nice, could use a light vignette to downplay the cropped fringe players.
I agree, this is a very interesting image. I often find images that are too busy uninteresting, but this one has so much going on, there seems to be a different story to be told by each person in the image. Going B&W is exactly the right thing to do with a busy image like this one; it needs the simplification that B&W provides. I really like what you have done here.
The happy couple seem to be a total afterthought to everyone else in the image. You've but them in the middle, where thy belong, surrounded by everyone else who seem totally engaged in something else.
From a technical side, some selective cropping, noise reduction and a very, very subtle vignette is likely to strengthen this image even more.
I've taken shots like this, the lining up for the picture shot when everyone is not looking at the camera. Great picture.
