The date that a couple obtained a marriage license is not necessarily the date of the marriage. Getting a license does not mean the couple was actually married. Things can happen after the license and before the ceremony. If the license was returned with the name of officiant and date of the ceremony, then the couple got married.
If you only have the marriage license date, record it as the marriage license date.
And always pay attention to the how the dates on a document are described.
