There is a clear story here of wedding day events--from pre-wedding preparation to the ceremony and reception, and you have a lot of images with which to work. I love the first picture of the little boy looking through the glass with the cake. That being said, I would like to see how this looks with pictures 1 and 2 flipped in presentation order. I would like to see the picture of the cake (#12) moved so it immediately precedes the cake cutting shots.
I would also cut out the 3rd, 10th, 13th, and 18th pictures from the set above because they don't seem to add much to the story and you have similar pictures already that work better to serve the same purpose. And while I like the little boy because he's such a riot, I feel like the story is about the wedding couple, so in my mind I want the whole thing to end with a picture of the happy couple--either #11 or #15. Hopefully these suggestions help you in your creation of a compelling photo story.
You have provided an excellent set of photos. I have to agree with Jen, that there are some you should edit out. What she is getting, and that I want to point out, is that there are points that any storyteller will find that they are basically saying too much. As I pointed out in Ryan's post, the attention to detail is what separates your story from everyone else's. But, if you go into too much detail, it becomes rather boring and meaningless. There is a balance, which you have come very close to.
Edit out some of the less important or redundant images and you will have a fantastic story to tell.
I love your story line and the pictures you have. Only comment I can suggest is as other have stated is edit out some of the images or even try to reduce whats in the pictures. I look fwd to your final project. Keep up the great work.

Great photo story, and good wedding photos as well. I like the last one with the kid and his peace signs.
