She asked me what would help and if I would like her to text me on her wedding day so she's going to do that. I can text her at any point while she's away on honeymoon. She's also going to show me a photo of her and the groom after asking if I'd like to see one.

Does that feel helpful? I would find that an extremely difficult offer to consider. It sounds like a strategy to ease discomfort in the short term, but I wonder what this describes about the limits of her ability to respond to your needs and how you can learn to self-soothe/enjoy your own boundaries. I say this as someone who has experienced my therapist extending various boundaries which has caused me distress. It doesn't seem realistic, although it is clear that she wants to ease your pain.
