I would say it depends on which image is bigger, but the easiest method would be this one:

With the image of your two people already open go to the menu and click Edit->Copy.

Open the background image.

Go up to the edit menu again and click Edit->Paste As New Layer

The two people should now be on their own layer on top of the new background image.

Use the pick tool to move, and size the people as needed.

Save as new JPG.

The other method, almost exactly the same, put the larger image into the smaller one. So if the sky is larger copy and paste that one on its own layer in the people picture. If the people are smaller follow the instructions above. Simple. Thus is the power of layers.
