According to the rules that man force on GOD, a Catholic priest can't get married. The Bible does not say this at all. Paul stated that if you are called to full time service getting married can complicate things because you have to divide your time between GOD and your spouse. Infact Paul warned Timothy saying;

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Instructions to Timothy

1. The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

2. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

3. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with Thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

So no there is nothing in the New Testament that says a new testament preists (post atonement) can't get married.

Do Catholics need to get married in the presence of a priest or a deacon?

Yes, and by a Catholic Priest specifically. The Catholic faith believes that priests are acting "in persona Christi" which means, "in the person of Christ," and that in every official act, they are "becoming" Christ, who is then actually performing whatever action is happening, from confession to last rites to marriage, etc. So, based on that belief, only Christ can officially marry people, and thus, only a priest, and only a Catholic Priest, and so unless Catholics are married with a Catholic Priest presiding (and I believe within a Catholic Church itself), it will not be recognized as an official and sanctified Catholic wedding. You can get more information at the website listed below (The Catholic Catechism as put on the web by the Vatican), or by looking through a copy of the Catholic Catechism itself. I might be a little messed up on some of the understanding of how "in persona Christi" works, but I do know that in order to be recognized as "married" by the Catholic Church, the answer is YES.Roman Catholic AnswerThe answer above is helpful, but it needs to be clear that Catholics marry each other, they are not technically "married" by anyone else. As baptized Christians, they are the ministers of the sacrament of marriage. But there must be a priest there as a representative of the Church, and, of course, of Jesus Christ, to witness the marriage. In that sense, yes, they must be married in front of a priest. Minor CorrectionAccording to Can. 1108 §1, a deacon can also perform a marriage but, of course, could not offer the Nuptial Mass.
