Marrying a Widow and Widower

No combination of editing or terminating the old marriage will allow me to marry a widower and a widow in MLS. I highly suspect user error, any suggestions?

From the MLS menu bar, navigate to Membership > Records > Special Requests > select one of the members in question > then ...

Explain what needs to happen and that MLS is not letting you do it; include the name and membership record number of the other member in question; include the marriage date and place.

Close it. Save it. Transmit it.

Before you send a special request, could you share more details of the steps you are following to try to create that marriage? It would also help to know what error messages or other feedback you are getting that would might indicate why it may not be working.
