A Catholic deacon can preside over weddings and baptisms without a priest present. However if he does preside over a wedding, Mass can not be included in the actual wedding ceremony which traditionally is done that way. In other words, if the wedding takes place outside of Mass he can administer or preside the wedding. I think it is also possible that if the wedding ceremony is during a Mass, a priest will preside the parts of the Mass, specifically the consecration of the Eucharistic bread and wine, and the deacon can perform the wedding part during the MassDeacons or Priests or higher orders 'preside' over the ceremony. Only two lay people can actually 'administer' the sacrament. The 'presiding' clergy member simply witnesses the marriage to make it Church 'official'
