You were good friends with this person, did she seem the type to be supportive of people with mental health issues? If so, she could be very helpful in filling the gap of memories that you had lost. If she is an understanding person, she should not be insulted that you don't remember her wedding because it wasn't your fault in any way.
You don't even need to go into details on the cause of your memory loss if you don't want, but rather a vague "I struggle with memory loss and had some questions I was hoping you could help me with" kind of thing.

That’s a really great way to put it. “Struggle with memory” is encompassing to what this is.
I’m not sure what her mental health opinions are. She was and is, from what I can tell from FB deeply engrained in the Christian faith. Some people like that have their own, in my opinion misguided, ideas of mental health issues. That makes me a bit cautious.
I don’t mean that in a bad way.
I am a Christian myself. I’ve been blessed with the insight to see it differently.
