I am well, Lorraine.

That meet - Nat did keep us in stitches all the time! :-)
Grampa Jim gave me a lift there, and Twizz was there; neither of them is with us any more. I know what you mean about Steve and Posh, the good old A to Z that he started, such fun at that time; some lovely people, Daff and Jean, and Deanna, gone on ahead, but we have some lovely memories to treasure.

I don't know about credits, sorry, because I use other sites for historical records.

Happy hunting :-)

I would save your credits for the census, and use FreeBMD for GRO index entries and images. It's also worth checking if there's a local index online at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd
In particular, via http://www.northeastbmd.org.uk/ I get to:
http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1399
Clicking on the page # on FreeBMD just gives the names of the two couples, but doesn't identify who wed whom. E.g.,

Marriages Mar 1909 (>99%)
BURNELL Annie Sunderland 10a 825
LAW John Charles Sunderland 10a 825
MINNIKIN Violet Sunderland 10a 825
PURVIS William Henry Sunderland 10a 825

is resolved as

Surname Forename(s) Year of Marriage
BURNELL Annie 1909
PURVIS William H 1909

You're going to have to buy birth & m.certs back until you can find your ancestors with their parents on the census.
