I lean toward the first cropping.  My eye doesn't really know where to
go with the second one - I find myself shifting between the young
couple on the left or the group with the woman turned toward the two
men.  The rest of the photo to the right of that woman feels
distracting.  I might consider cropping either tighter than the first
to remove the small bit of the woman's face on the right side or
looser to include that woman in her entirety.
