I have done church marriage records from Jerez and am now working on civil marriage records. I’m finding some that are years apart and others that are days apart, usually the civil marriage first.. Which date would you put for the wedding date? It appears there was a lot more fuss over the church marriage. I’m entering both into the files but wondered which should appear on the marriage date box. I know my grandparents from there only celebrated the church marriage date.
