That's a really sweet image of the couple. Your timing was excellent. I can't help thinking that it should be less exposed though. I mean, if that scene was as dark as you and the EXIF say, then I expect it to look dark rather than looking almost like it was taken in daylight with a noisy P&S. What's that saying that's making the rounds lately? "Light reveals, shadow defines." At the very least vignetting the subject by darkening the background around them would help.
