What causes this discoloration in some photos

Any reason the exposure times were different. Seems the metering data was not the same and may have resulted in the different exp times. I have had that happen, also have had a rare low flash output for whatever reason. Probably one or the other or neither....that is the very nice benefit of digital...instant feedback.

It seems that your flash was set in TTL or A mode. With these modes, the flash will only deliver the amount of light it thinks is right for a given situation. In your first photo, notice that the bride's earring and beads of the gown became highly reflective. Hence, your flash was fooled by the reflective surfaces. It may have registered as though your subject is well lighted. Hence your flash gave a very low output. Your second photo does not show much reflective surfaces.
This happens all the time. So I recommend that you shoot a lot during a wedding coverage or any event to compensate for situations such as this. I don't recommend setting your flash to manual because you may not be fast enough to adjusting the settings (of the flash and camera) that you will end up with more over or under exposures.

I have a question here. What kind of lighting was in the reception hall? If it was fluorescent and you were shooting near the setting necessary for ambient light then there can be white balance and intensity issues becasue the bulbs cycle through different colors and intensities if that shot is timed with the part of the cycle that is orange, then you get inconsistent results from shot to shot. Fluorescent bulbs cycle at twice the hertz of the line voltage (60 hertz x2 = 120 cycles per second). anytime you shoot at a shutter speed higher than 1/120 you can have these problems.

It was flourescent and the picture that I took at 1/100 came out good...Maybe that did have something to do with it...that's a good point

I don't doubt it. Do a google search for fluorecent light problems/ photography and you will see many references.

Looks to me like your flash didn't fire. You can look at the metadata and see the settings. It will tell you. Are you giving it enough time to recycle?

I agree....either the flash did not fire or wasn't up to full power when you shot the picture.
