If they divorced before the second occurrence then they could be "legally" married again. If not divorced then the second time did not involve the ministry (or one who performed the ceremony) did not file any papers with the county. The second time was a ceremonial renewal of their previous marriage. You could write the details in a note related to their marriage.
