However, I also wanted to use the Marriage Event for Amanda. It is here that I run into the issue. This is also where I find the Sentence definition. I use the Individuals Information Screen, Click on Add to add an Event I enter Mar and use the down arrow to select Marriage It is at this point the "Amanda were married" sentence is populated. I do not get a double return of Amanda and Amanda If I fill in all the other fields, this is the result "Amanda were married on 10 May 2014 in St Marys Church Johnson City, TN: to brad clay.¹" Not exactly what I wanted. However, it may have to do until the bug is fixed.
