Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Step 1: Organize the Clues
We have five categories:
- First Names: Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy
- Wedding Years: 1920, 1925, 1940, 1952, 1964
- Appetizers: Fried mozzarella, Fried pickles, Onion rings, Potato skins, Soup of the day
- Cell Phones: Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless, nTelos

#### Step 2: Analyze Each Clue

##### Clue 1:
"The person married in 1940 doesn't have a cell phone with nTelos."
- This means the person married in 1940 cannot have nTelos as their cell phone provider.

##### Clue 2:
"The person with the Sprint cell phone didn't order onion rings."
- Sprint ≠ Onion rings.

##### Clue 3:
"Of Roy and Rebekah, one got married in 1952 and the other has always used nTelos."
- One of Roy or Rebekah is married in 1952.
- The other uses nTelos.

##### Clue 4:
"Luke got married before the person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer."
- Luke's wedding year < Potato skins' wedding year.

##### Clue 5:
"The 5 people were:
- The person with the T-Mobile cell phone,
- The person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer,
- The person married in 1964,
- Cory,
- The person with the Nextel cell phone."
- This clue identifies all five people based on their attributes. We will use this to fill in the grid later.

##### Clue 6:
"The person with the US Wireless cell phone didn't order fried mozzarella."
- US Wireless ≠ Fried mozzarella.

##### Clue 7:
"Rebekah got married before the person with the T-Mobile cell phone."
- Rebekah's wedding year < T-Mobile's wedding year.

##### Clue 8:
"The person married in 1920 has always used Nextel."
- 1920 = Nextel.

##### Clue 9:
"The person with the T-Mobile cell phone got married after the person who ordered fried mozzarella as an appetizer."
- T-Mobile's wedding year > Fried mozzarella's wedding year.

##### Clue 10:
"Either the person with the Nextel cell phone or the person with the Sprint cell phone ordered onion rings."
- Nextel or Sprint = Onion rings.

##### Clue 11:
"The person who ordered fried pickles as an appetizer is Parker."
- Parker = Fried pickles.

#### Step 3: Solve the Puzzle

##### From Clue 8:
"The person married in 1920 has always used Nextel."
- 1920 = Nextel.

##### From Clue 11:
"The person who ordered fried pickles as an appetizer is Parker."
- Parker = Fried pickles.

##### From Clue 3:
"Of Roy and Rebekah, one got married in 1952 and the other has always used nTelos."
- Let's assume:
- Roy = 1952.
- Rebekah = nTelos.

##### From Clue 7:
"Rebekah got married before the person with the T-Mobile cell phone."
- Since Rebekah uses nTelos, she must be married before the person with T-Mobile.
- Possible wedding years for Rebekah: 1920, 1925, 1940.
- Since 1920 is already assigned to Nextel, Rebekah cannot be married in 1920.
- Let's assume:
- Rebekah = 1925.
- T-Mobile's wedding year > 1925.

##### From Clue 9:
"The person with the T-Mobile cell phone got married after the person who ordered fried mozzarella as an appetizer."
- T-Mobile's wedding year > Fried mozzarella's wedding year.
- Possible wedding years for T-Mobile: 1940, 1952, 1964.

##### From Clue 4:
"Luke got married before the person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer."
- Luke's wedding year < Potato skins' wedding year.
- Possible wedding years for Luke: 1920, 1925, 1940.

##### From Clue 6:
"The person with the US Wireless cell phone didn't order fried mozzarella."
- US Wireless ≠ Fried mozzarella.

##### From Clue 10:
"Either the person with the Nextel cell phone or the person with the Sprint cell phone ordered onion rings."
- Nextel or Sprint = Onion rings.
- Since 1920 = Nextel, the person married in 1920 ordered onion rings.

##### From Clue 5:
"The 5 people were:
- The person with the T-Mobile cell phone,
- The person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer,
- The person married in 1964,
- Cory,
- The person with the Nextel cell phone."
- We can now start filling in the grid based on these attributes.
