3/10. I apologize for being so harsh, but I will at least justify myself:
-4 points for composition / creativity.This is the oldest pose in the wedding repeirtore. It's so overused it's not even interesting anymore. I don't understand if you made them both close their eyes or simply caught a bad moment where they both did it. If you did it on purpose, I don't see it adding an artistic effect.
The composition is akward. I would've moved more to the left to get them to look a bit closer and golden ruled' them. 3/4th's on the girl and missing the feet of the guy isn't the best view you could have provided. Try to use the pillars to your advantage. The area in between the pillars is blown out and only serves as a distraction.
-3 points on the woman's stomachThe woman's stomach is the definition of unflattering. Is she pregnant? If so, I would've fixed her shirt to promote the roundness of a pregnant belly. It looks misshapen. If she's not pregnant, then that's just carelessness from your part. The stomach was the first thing I looked at.
I'm neutral on the post processing. Women like this sort of effect, and it looks like one of the present LR3 has.
+2 points on effectively focusing on the woman and the location. Her pants / belly look sharp, and her face is just a bit off to hide any imperfections. The location offers very flattering lighting, and the sun hitting her hair provides a lovely ethereal look. If she's pregnant, I'd have shot a portrait of her there. In fact, i'd have removed the guy completely (since no one gives a damn about men in photos) and just shot her.
Good luck!
Since we're showing people (and pregnant woman, if applicable above), here's my try:
