You should just have one marriage record, with the bride and groom both marked as principal (unless you have a reason to mark one "not principal"). You can link the various participants in their different roles if you wish, since this notes where they were at this point in time. As non-principal roles, you would not normally get the event printed out for those people.
You can also include them in the text for the marriage event, if that adds to your story. Note that the event text is separate from the role assignment.
If you want to create an index of your Family Journal report, you can put index tags in the event text, next to each individual. Open the event text window, click on the point just after a person's name in the text and then select the Name Index button at the bottom of the text window. Type in the person's Individual Number between the colons. An alternate process I use is to type the Individual Number after the individual's name, hold the shift key as I use the back arrow (not the backspace) to highlight the number, and then click on the Name Index button to tag that number. I create my Family Journal reports into an .rtf file which I then load into my word processor. I then generate the index in the word processor, often after I've done some further modifications in the report. The word processor index will then match the pages in the document (as long as you don't do any further text modifications). Note that the index will reference the birth names of all individuals, ev!
en if the event text gives their married or other alternate names.
