Let me first say that I don't shoot weddings unless someone makes me, so I may not be the best critic.

The good:
- Some really nice steadycam moves
- I like a lot of your shot composition - very intimate feel
- The roller coaster bit was brilliant

Not so good:
- The demo is too long for what you have - cut it in half
- Shots are mostly too long - much faster cuts would help
- Some shots are not in focus
- When racking focus from something not interesting like palm fronds, cut in with the rack in progress
- The dress tying shows up in two different places for no apparent reason
- The shoes are cute but you could do more with them
- The shot with the white lattice is very jarring - tough background to deal with
- Color grading is all over the place - you need to grade consistently for this piece

There's real talent in there to my eyes, but I'm a perfectionist. I think that fully half of what I do is rubbish so my comments are not as harsh as they might sound. (grin)

Keep working on it. I think you could make this really shine.
