I don't put any events in the marriage - just marriage, divorce. My reason has nothing to do with reports, though - I just like to see everything when I am looking at the individual screen, rather than having bits of info scattered about.
I would actually prefer to have the marriage itself more incorporated into the individual screen. The individual screen of TMG is the only thing I still miss a bit, although I much prefer Legacy. The TMG individual screen is a little like our chronology page, except that it is directly editable (not just editable through the pop-up of the individual screen).
