On the first record, the groom's last name appears to be Augustin, and his father's first name is also Augustin.

Because of the many different ways people in Haiti are named - I'm hesitant to proceed: father's names could be reversed in order, which happens often in Haitian records; groom could have taken father's first name as his last name for the marriage record...

My thought is to put the father's first & last names together in the Father's Given Name field, as a way to proceed. I'd appreciate any help/insight on this issue, since i've seen it a lot in these records, and have never felt secure in how best to proceed.
