More than modern, I'd say futuristic! ;-)
The second one is too abstract. The first one works better, but the "a" predominates, which maybe isn't the best effect for a wedding...
Have you thoght something constructed like æ?

you are correct, they are too futuristic.
i have a few other ideas i am brewing up right now.

I was doodling (as in non-business/commissioned free-doodle)something based on CA too.

A simple presentation of the monogrammed CA in a stylised shape of heart.

You might consider cutting the left leg of the "A" so that the "C" is more apparent. Other than that, I think you're on the right track with this second set.

Love the second set. I think the left one reads better as initials, since the letters are upright, but the right hand one makes sense tilted in a heart shape. I think it is OK that the initials are more subtle when tilted to make a normal heart shape.

I can totally see this repeated as a faint pattern in the wedding stationery, napkins, etc.

Very appropriate that it makes a heart, and the letters are intertwined / woven together. Great concept.
