First wedding pictures

Hello,
As some of you may know, for the last few months, I've been asking for help on how to shoot my first wedding. Well, I shot it last Friday and have a few images to share. Am not totally blown away, but not too disappointed as well. Could have had a few more (better) good shots if the light wasn't too bad or I had more time to execute my plans
Ended up using a Nikon D3s with Nikkor 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 and an SB910. Some of the pictures were not as sharp as I wanted, I blame that to the slow shutter I ended up using (lesson learned). Tried using an off camera flash SB800 on a stand as remote using my on camera sb910 as master, but got too tied up with the event and opted for bounce instead. Used a flashbender for the ceremony (celings were wooden and high) and some dance shots with rear curtain sync. All in all a satisfactory and learning experience.
Any expert advice or comments will be appreciated based on the images I am uploading.
Thanks,
Saqib

You did well, a few small tweaks and you would have it.
The first one, bride in car, you just need to drop exposure around -.5 as her face is a tad too bright/over, maybe a localised brush in RAW would do the trick.
The last shot, the mum and daughter holding hands [presume it's her mum] is a tad under for skin tones.
Overall well done.
