Hi,
I'll give you one image (maybe I lost count, but…) approx. # 51 from the top - portrait format; bride looking out through window - is the first photo that make me look twice.
The above says a little about how well (or not) NS works technically for this kind of exercise… In your shoes, I'd post a link to a space (Flickr or similar) where you could get an overview. Having numbers on the images would also be a healthy thing.

I'd rather try to give you some fair critique, as you requested it. It will be quite generic, but straightforward (the only way I know to show a photographer the respect he/she deserves), so here goes:
- In many photos I find the subject centered in the middle of the frame, making the images static and lacking energy. Are you aware of the rule of thirds? It's a rule that certainly can be broken, but I'd say it would help to create a little, ahem… tension in the photos.
- It also seems like you've been a little too polite when it comes to approaching your subjects. EXIF-data suggest that you are using mainly two zoom lenses, and most often the focal length seems to be in the 40-55 mm range. Also, most images are shot from a 'healthy' nine to twelve feet away. The distance can be felt. Get closer to your subject for more nerve and presence.
I m h o,

PS. But as others already have hinted, I'm not too sure that NS is the most suitable place for selecting among 80 or so photos. If I hired you as a wedding photographer, it would suggest that you don't trust your own eyes/sense of composition.
