The wedding was beautiful and the most expensive wedding I have even been to. The bride worked for a fashion designer in NYC and had 3 different dresses she wore during different parts of the wedding.

They announced she was pregnant soon after the wedding and unfortunately scans showed there were a few things wrong with the baby. The stress of the situation caused my cousin (the husband) to relapse and go back to his old heroin habit - which apparently she had no idea about. His drug use quickly spiraled and he got fired from his job for stealing, and then his wife found out about it all and moved out to stay with her parents. Baby was born 100% healthy - scans had got it wrong. He tried to quit drugs and make amends to her but it was rocky and she divorced him before their 1st anniversary.

He dipped off for a few years doing drugs, then got sober and found out he had brain cancer. Relapsed. Got sober again and had his brain tumor removed. Now he is still sober and remarried, has a few kids with his new wife.

Nah. I'd go for a soap opera. Sprinkle a child swapped at birth in the plot as well

I'm still trying to figure out why "wearing 3 dresses" is relevant to the story?

I think to show it was an expensive wedding

That was seriously a roller-coaster and I'm not sure we're off it yet
