I didn't think the marriage contract was as big a deal as the implication that, if the story were taken as something other than a complete fabrication, someone had messed with Gringott's proceedings to cover it up. I can't imagine that Rita Skeeter could keep her job after courting that kind of scandal with the goblin nation.

Gringott's? I thought it was the security of the records of the Wizengamut that was thrown into question by what the twins did, not Gringott's?

They managed to compromise both. From chapter 26:

It may be impossible, but I can imagine tampering with the Wizengamot proceedings. It is unimaginable that the Grand Manager of Gringotts should affix the seal of his office in witness to a false betrothal contract, and Miss Skeeter personally verified that seal
