Massachusetts Marriage/Divorce

It seems that when I try to search a marriage record I can find the person's name and date of marriage - BUT - the records doesn't say who the person was married to. Other than researching through the city and/or county records at city hall or elsewhere, is there a record online which lists both bride and groom? Otherwise I'm doing a lot of cross reference (guesstimates) searches trying to match one with the other - often with inaccurate results. For example: Jane Doe was married in 1949 - but to whom?

    Marriage indexes are often separated into bride and groom indexes. Often, you can find the 2nd party with the volume/page info.

    On Ancestry, there is even a link to search for other records with the same information:

    Thank you: my problem was how to get into the actual 'volume' link. I'll give it a try
