Searching for proof of marriage for Arthur James Johnson (KHB9-SZK) and Louisa Pindred (KCRX-XQC) in England some time prior to the birth of their first child in March of 1897.

This appears to be the record you require. It is unusual to find precise details online of marriage events for this period (late 19th century), so you will have to apply to the General Register Office (at https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp) if you want a copy of the actual certificate.

To find such events in future, just click on the FamilySearch logo on the individual's Details page and make a search using the appropriate criteria. (It is often better to remove the birth and death information that has been "carried across" to the Search page before adding a date range for the marriage.)

A good alternative option is to make Birth, Marriage and Death searches from the FreeBMD website, at https://www.freebmd.org.uk/. Here the same record was found very quickly:

To add to Paul's excellent comments, FamilySearch has available the civil marriage index up to 2005. This is based on the records held by FindMyPast. It also has other marriage records for England up to 1973 although coverage is far from complete, particularly for the 20th century.

You can search the marriage index only by going to Search, Records, Find a Collections, type in England and Wales Marriage

You can do the same thing for England Marriages.

Or you can use the method described by Paul to search all the records at once.
