Need a little help from you Photoshop gurus

I did my first paid wedding last week. Luckily they didn't want a traditional photographer. They just wanted party pics. The ceremony was only about 5 mins in their living room. It was tough, but I did get some great shots. The only thing, when they kissed, this idiot in the background photobombed me.

Can you remove him for me? I tried, it looked like crap.

Don't worry about the extreme vignette, I did one like this, one with none, and one with dark. Going to let them decide.

I think it would be easier if you remove the guy without the vignette, add the vignette after removing him.

Thats why I included the RAW file in the link. I just posted this image for aesthetics.

You did do a very nice job, but it will too small of a file if I use it.

As you have worked out it is a tricky background. I am not totally happy with this but here is my version

You had better be careful with comments like that. One day you will answer your front door and there will be an Aussie standing there looking to take you up on the offer.

Be careful AT. I've been to Australia and traveled with Aussies. You are going to need a lot more than ONE cold one.

By the way great Photoshop job. You guys are magicians with that application.
