Cynthia,
So sorry to hear about your shoulder!
Regarding your portrait commission, I think your client has some unrealistic expectations. As a surprise gift, I think it is a better idea to just paint a single subject - her.
Do you know why she wants a wedding picture from the 80's to serve as a source? Does she still have her Indian wedding dress? Why not ask her to pose for you to take the photos, her in her gown? It could be sort of like a "renewal of vows" concept - the present day woman, the nostalgia of the wedding dress. Certainly the close up show a beautiful woman with a great expression - but it's taken with a flash.
