A Summer Wedding for Cardwell's Sister

A sophomore at the University of Tennesse was the maid of honor at her sister's wedding in Mufressboro, Tenn. last August.
Julie Cardwell's sister, Angela, was married outside in front of the Oaklands Mansion. About 200 people attended.

Julie is five years younger than her sister and even though she said it is hard to be close since they don't see each other much, she was still happy for Angela.

"I was really excited for her," Julie said. "I knew she really wanted to get married."

However, Julie's parents didn't quite feels the same way.

"They liked Chris (Angela's husband) but they didn't think they were a good match," Julie said.

Anglea and Chris were best friends in high school and then started dating in college. He proposed on a ski trip the two took.

"He had the restuarant put the ring in her desert," Julie said.

During the reception, which was held in the ballroom of the mansion, the bride wore her white wedding gown.

"Her dress was simple but elegant," Julie said.

The couple danced to a cover band named Da Boys who played old rock music Julie said.
The bride's cake was a normal wedding cake but since the groom is an avid golf player, the groom's cake was baked in the shape of a golf ball.

Chris and Angela went on their honeymoon in the Bahamas and now live in Nashville, Tenn. Angela is applying for a marketing job and Chris works in human resources.

Julie is still in school at the University of Tennessee and even though she supports her sister, don’t expect to see Julie walking down the aisle any time soon.

"I am still pretty picky and stubborn when is comes to guys," Julie said.

As far as the inverted pyramid goes, I think that you targeted the most important information first. However, I think that your summery lead can be just a little bit stronger, just to grab the readers attention. also, I think you should elaborate on the story a little more in between the quotes. I think this gives your reader more information about the wedding. All in all, good job!
