 Yes, it was a religious ceremony, but not by a priest. As mentioned in other threads, when I have a couple in my family tree that is marked as boyfriend/girlfriend, it still displays them as married. Also, as mentioned before, "first family", "second family" etc... isn't accurate.

Also, as mentioned before, "first family", "second family" etc... isn't accurate. Do you have a suggestion for this? Maybe excluding the "family" from the report?

In fact, I am thinking of two numbers. One number to represent the husband's family and the other for the wife's family. For instance, the same marriage may be the wife's first wedding while it is the third for the husband.

Yes, it was a religious ceremony, but not by a priest.
If it was not a priest, you have the choice to change it in your dictionary.xml file, like many other things too.

One thing to consider is the ability of potential users to alter the default settings. If GenoPro is to succeed in a commercial world it has got to appeal to a wider range of people than Beta testers, who by definition have an interest in computing.
In the Family History Society that I belong to I would guess that at least half of the members are 'senior citizens'. In the Computer Branch meetings we see many members who have little idea of the workings of a PC; they would not know how to alter these files and would be put off at the thought of doing so.
I would suggest that the default position should be the simplest version with the ability to add if necessary and where the user has the knowledge.
In the present example of marriage, GenoPro has the heading 'Priest / Minister' for the field. Many of my ancestors were Non-Conformist (Wesleyan) and would have been horrified to think that they had been married by a Priest. This means that we also need a means of distinguishing between the headings of the field in the Report Generator. I suspect that this does not exist at present as it is not entered into the database.
Apologies for not splitting this into two topics; comments on marriage reporting and a new topic of default version of the Report Generator but the second has arisen from the first.

The Marriage section is somewhat Christian/Western oriented at present. How about Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, etc. ceremonies? I'm no expert, but I guess that they are not officiated by a Priest/Minister. Is a more neutral term needed like 'Officiated by' ?

As this forum is mostly in English with French as the mother tongue of the developer, it is natural that there will be a bias towards the western culture but it seems that this is being corrected by various international members. Though I am not particularly religous, I do feel that you have a valid point here, as your idea of "Officiated by" would be the the least likely to offend any religous sensibilities and could be used by anyone. The "Title" of the "Officiator" could be added such as "Father O'Brian" , "Reverend Smith" , "Rabbi Cohen" etc. could be added to the name as required by the user without having to add yet another drop down choice box . I don't know how the other religions address their leaders.
