To many people you would be frowned upon for this most likely. Surely tho God would not be angry at his followers for attending a bond between man and wife. God loved everyone and even as Jesus if people did not believe in him i dont think he would not respect a marriage.
ANSWER:
Well, that's a little tricky. It should be fine for a Catholic Deacon to attend the non-catholic wedding of a non-Catholic family member. But, IF the family member is a Catholic, and chooses not to marry in a Catholic wedding, then that's a problem because the Catholic would be committing a grave sin and the Catholic Deacon would, by his presence, be accepting/approving that spiritually invalid marriage.
I'd consult a priest and the Catechism and probably your diocese website -- and catholicanswers.com. Tough question though. I would most likely attend but you are an ordained deacon.

∙ 11y agoYes. In fact, the vocation of the Deacon requires them to be serving on the margins of the church, as a sort of bridge between Church and the world, those in need, or other Churches. They are the agents of the bishop into the places 'on the edges'. SO, naturally, they should make friends with the people they meet there.
