I agree with what Mentos said about the crop, a nice crop on the second will really help. A black and white conversion will help too, with the background distractions.
This type of shot is a standard at weddings, so I've kinda got a trick for you that might help the next time you encounter this, but it works well on any heavily backlit situation. Raise your exposure by one to one and a half stops. It will blow out the backlighting, and also give detail exposure to the subject. It's especially pretty in black and white.
