You're not doing anything wrong. This is another instance of a major bug in Events overrides. It has been reported before, but not in the Marriage Event. How discouraging that Legacy 8 is unusable in its major strong suit, which used to be allowing for individual tweaking. They have soooo many bugs to fix, create more when they fix some, and seem unable to keep up. No wonder smart people still use 7.5. There is truth in the old adage, "if it ain't broke". Legacy 7.5 is wonderful, but they have so much to do trying to keep 8 going that they can't support 7.5 any more. All the bells and whistles in the world don't matter when you can't do the basics. It was certainly released much too early. I hope they get their act together soon. I know of more that 50 people who have abandoned Legacy 8, some reverting to 7.5 via the less than ideal means of a GEDCOM, and others who need a stable database. SIGH! Why spoil a good track record with this?
Hang in there or revert to 7.5 if need be until they get on track.
