River Song first appeared in 2008, when David Tennant was still playing the Doctor. The first time we saw River Song was when she died. River and the Doctor are moving in opposite directions in time, so as we, the viewers, move forward with the Doctor, we are seeing River Song's past.

YES; he marries her in an alternate time line that then reverts making the marriage null and void in the episode "The Wedding of River Song".
She said the Doctor's real name. Beyond htat ... no one knows.
River Song is an older version of Amy and Rory's daughter (Melody Pond) and probable love interest of the Doctor. Having been conceived in the TARDIS (the Doctor's time machine), Melody Pond/River Song received a very high exposure to the time vortex, resulting in her DNA being partly similar to that of the Time Lords. This means that River has the ability to regenerate, although she used up the rest of her regenerations to save the Doctor.
