How do I fix a record that does not have an edit button?
if you click on this record the Bride and Groom are swapped. How do i fix this so that it has the correct Genders? There are 2 females on this record and I know it's not a lesbian wedding. Especially not in 1926 in rural Ohio. It was indexed wrong and I can't fix it and it is making me so angry! thanks for your help. Isadore Shockling is the Groom and Anna Craft is the bride.

Yes, that index is fouled up pretty bad. In fact, I have seen a huge PILE of screwed up indexes for the Ohio County Marriages. I still don't think that they have all been fixed.
Even if the Edit button worked the way you expected it to, it still would not fix that problem.
However, here is a work around for now. Go to the wife's record at Anna Barbara Craft GQFY-ZF8:
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GQFY-ZF8
The Ohio county Marriages 1789-2013 hint for her marriage to Isadore John Schockling LBF8-659 is currently sitting there. Yes, I know that it's the same general marriage record as the hint for Isadore, but it points to HER specific record in the index which does not have the incorrect sex listed and doesn't foul up source linker when it sees it (i.e., the way it happens when you approach it from the Isadore record's hint).
Now open HER marriage hint, and in the source linker go ahead and attach her, Isadore, and each of their parents. (the parents may not already be in the system so you may have to create them before attaching them).
IGNORE all the "father of bride", Isadore as the "wife", and Anna as the "Groom" lables on the left hand side. They are all attempting to make sense of the screwed up index data. All you want to do at this point is to attach the different indexed items to the different persons already in the tree (i.e., on the right hand side of the source linker). Using this approach you SHOULD be able to accomplish this with no problems. Let us know if the system refuses to do this for you though.
Until FS gets that entire set of index record FIXED we continue to see multiple types of problems in that index. This one is new (but not unexpected) to me.

You might want to rethink that about, either, swapping; or, two females ...
