I would leave it "as shot" personally. i tend to prefer the warmer tones anyway and I think churches lend themselves to this anyway. I like it.

When I have doubt, I always go for what I like!

And my second choice is what it really looked like.

I don't think any of the other processing Swartzy did improved the shot.

I would say it's a step or two oversaturated with the yellow/orange... I would try to take it down a little bit so that it's not overwhelming, but leave enough of that yellow/orange in there so that it retains the warm feeling of those colors... or, as Federer suggested, make it BW.

Swartzy's lower left version seems to be pretty close to what I think looks right. I understand what he is saying about the image itself, though. The shot would be more meaningful if the B&G were actually up there. Without them up there, it looks more like a test shot to make sure that you've got your settings right. But, since we don't know who the reader is and presumably the B&G do, then it might be more meaningful to them than to us as outside viewers of the image.

In a Catholic wedding, here in the Southwest anyway, this is where the bride and groom are most of the wedding. When they are not there, I wanted to be up front where they were. They didn't pay for a second shooter.

To further muddy the waters, I prefer the image in the top left, but then I'm quite partial to black and whites. My opinion about fixing the color balance mirrors swartzy's... I like pretty much any of his options better than leaving the color cast.

Purpose of the pic?

That is really subjective. Many years ago, over 20 in fact, I was asked to take such a picture and the overlay a picture of the brides father looking down on the couple. The whole family had been devoted to him, and obviously believed in the after life so the view was appropriate. Not my taste but they were paying.
I also had a picture of the bride side on to the camera with hands extended, and printed in a shot of her father with his hands out.
That type of shot is/was a staple of wedding photography in England.

I wouldn't completely fix it but I'd definitely tone the orange down a bit.
