Hi Vince, There are two different ways to handle this. The first is to create a Marriage Event for the Second Marriage. You can create whatever events you like. You are not limited by the existing Event types. I think by Tag - which is a Gedcom term rather than a Legacy term - you mean Marriage Event Type/Definition.
The second, which you'll probably prefer in this instant is to right click on one of the couple, choose Add Wife, Link to Existing person, choose the same spouse and when it is pointed out that this couple is already linked, say you want to link again. Then you'll need to go to the Marriage Information screen, Wording tab and adjust the wording to make sense. If you find the marriages in the wrong chronological order in a report then you need to right click on one of the partners, view spouse list and reorder there. They won't both show on Family View at once in the Marriage Information spot. However, the spouse icon will show two marriages and you can cycle between them by clicking to the outside of either spouse.
