Hela, I don't understand what's wrong with it as it stands. Tony's wife of two weeks - this means they were married two weeks ago. Did you need to include the information that she is pregnant?

A little morbid, but you could add to the sentence this way:
Tony's wife of two weeks nearly drowned when she visited her cousin at the beach.
(Or are you really supposed to separate "wife" and "of two weeks"?)

You're right, Grammar Geek.
You're idea is great, Yankee. I'll use it.
All the best,
