"There is no detailed account of a Christian wedding ceremony until the 9th Century, it was not until the 12th Century that a priest became involved in the ceremony and not until the 13th Century that he took charge of it".

"Gradually however theologians began to interpret a spiritual significance in marriage and eventually the Catholic church made marriage a sacrament. It essentially abolished divorce and also instituted a complex system of prohibitions and rules allowing or disallowing certain marriages. For example since a married couple were deemed to be “one flesh” all relatives of the couple on both sides were deemed to be related to each other"

There are many people involved in a traditional catholic wedding. But here are the 3 people who matter the most.

Bride and Groom

in a Roman Catholic wedding, the bride and groom are the ministers of the sacrament of matrimony.
Presider

Usually the person who presides over the wedding liturgy is a priest or deacon; a minister of another faith may also assist at the wedding.
Witness

From a spiritual and liturgical point of view, everyone attending your wedding serves as witnesses. However, in order for the marriage to be valid, two people besides the Presider must serve as official witnesses. (Witnesses are usually required for a marriage to be recognized under civil law as well.
