They're both looking almost at different things, they sure don't seem to have the emotions you'd expect. And the processing.. seems like a combination of aggressive sharpening and then noise removal.. dunno. maybe softer would be okay considering the occasion. But I ask myself, from an entire reception what was it about this one that made you pick it to share and not one of the others?

This is low quality scan -- from Trix -- tripod > 1/15 sec exposure..
