You have a great story idea, and I'm sure you've improved since the first chapter. You didn't choke the first chapter with exposition, thank you for that. Too many authors get excited and fill the page with things that could easily be woven into the story. You stayed on point and kept the story moving at a decent pace. However, what got me were the weak verbs and the constant telling. Take some time to bone up on show vs tell and your piece will shine

I know this story is fast food of the literary world, but you spend more time telling than showing. I actually like the story idea, but you often repeat ideas in the same paragraphs. Some minor edits could help this story shine brighter than it already does
This book shows promise but why do you hesitate to name characters? I had no idea who was talking to who in the first chapter. Also you might want to check over your paragraphs and slim them down.
Your descriptions are a bit rough and tell more than they show. It might be better to play with it. Include sensations of the bride
