Chris, I have been adding events to "marriages" even before 'shared events' came along in Ver 8.
These work great for events where the couple is the focus, like a newspaper marriage or anniversary event. And they will show on reports (as events for that marriage) not under individual's because the event is added to only the marriage. You could duplicate it for each individual, but then it would most likely appear thee times on a report.
