I think the logline outlines a twist ("...mistakenly thought...") that may not be directly related to the plot at hand.

To that matter as noted in the previous comment there seams to be 2 possible goals in the one logline; 1 – stop wedding, 2 – find father. Best to choose and include only one in the logline, personally I think finding a missing father far more interesting than stopping a wedding.
How about you don’t mention the wedding in the logline but keep it for the step-outline. Use the wedding as a motive in the girl’s mind for the antagonist to have done away with the father as well as a “ticking time bomb” for the A plot – finding the father. In this case if indeed it remains being discovered later in the plot in way of a twist as the doing of the evil brother, then in the logline it seams loosely if at all related to the A plot. Therefor it can be removed from the logline freeing up the valuable logline real-estate currently occupied by a possibly secondary goal.
Hope this helps.
