One event that I add to the Marriage Information screen is any newspaper article which mentions the wedding. Some articles go into a great deal of detail and describe who was in the wedding party, the names of the parents of the wedding couple, and even what they wore on the day. I've also included newspaper articles here of the engagement party held prior to the wedding. Additionally, if there is a newspaper article about the couples' subsequent divorce, again I add a newspaper event here containing the article.
Here's the wording for my newspaper event on the Marriage Information screen: [CoupleFirstNames] were mentioned in an article in «i»[Desc]«/i» published [onDate] [inPlace]. [Sources][CR] [Notes] In the Description field, I place the name of the newspaper. ----- Original Message ----- From: "julia m" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 3:33 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Examples of marriage events? > > I'm a long time Legacy user but have never, ever added an Event in the > Marriage Information section.
