A moral one.
Either decision records both events.
One keeps your sister and her partner happy and the other doesn't.
Both ways give you an accurate history as you have Marriage Notes and
Marriage Event Notes to elaborate.

I have a recording question, while we are speaking of gay marriages.
My sister (lesbian) had a committment ceremony in 2000 and the couple
considers this their wedding date. So I entered it in the marriage
section with appropriate notes. Then when it became legal, they got
legally married (although they still think of 2000 as their wedding
date and never refer to or celebrate the legal marriage date.
I am not sure what to do with this. They are insisting that the
original 2000 date be shown as their marriage date, yet the supporting
documents are the legal wedding documents. I want this family
history to be accurate.
Should I use the commitment 2000 date in the marriage section and do
an event for the legal marriage?
OR
Should I use the legal marriage in the marriage section and put the
committment date in the event section (against their wishes).
I am not sure whether I am having a moral dilema or a technical one. LOL
