Who is the groom?, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Havnt been getting too many critiques off late, so thought would put in an interesting pic, to lure more critiques ;-).
Took this at place de la Concorde in Paris. I have no idea who is the groom among the two gentleman. Any ideas???

Nice picture Sandeep. Interesting shot... Is it weird for an Indian to see a french wedding???

The guy on the right has a very shiny ring, so my guess is that he is the groom. Left guy has to be the brother of the bride...

My guess is that the gentleman to the left is the groom. First because he looks happy. Second because his west matches the flowers on the brides dress. I also think that the man to the right is a close relative to the bride. This looks like Place de la Madelene, close to place de la Concorde. The only pitty is that the photo is a bit blurred but you did good.

I think the person without sunglasses, on the left, is the groom. The groom would not have sunglasses to wear on the day and also he would have a vest with a tie tucked in.

The guy on the right is not the groom, he is wearing sunglasses and his suit colour is a little off for a groom, also his tie is wide and not tucked into a vest. Infact he is not wearing a vest at all. He may either be the best man or the brother of the bride, he seems very young to be the father of the bride, although that is also possible.

Thus, the guy on the left with a vest is the groom. Good image and concept.

Sorry Gaijin, I agree with Zto and mtolloczko! The groom must be the one on the left. Yet the guy on the right has the right to be married and thus to wear a ring!

Well captured Sandeep and nice idea for a title ;)

Either the guy on the left or neither. This kind of shot you really need a shallow DOF to capture well. The pointy fence in the background is a distraction.
