Well here they are the wedding shots were done with an E10.

Well, macro shots don't really "do it" for me in generally, but...

Some of them, the flowers, look a little too medium for me; seems like you could've pushed it a little and gotten closer. Also, they all look a little underexposed and flat (overcast, maybe). The bee, for instance, looks washed-out, probably as a result of the underexposure and flat.

Have you consider shooting with an external flash? Also, I don't do a ton of this kind of work, but lots of the macro shots I see are somewhat damp; that is, the photographer likely spritzed the subject a bit. I don't think it's NECESSARY, but in the absence of something really interesting about the shot, maybe the dew can add something to it.

I like the duck the most :)

What kind of lens did you use for the bee and duck pic?
