If you're referring to him acting as her escort, then no he does no have to be a Catholic, but if you are talking about the 'giving away of the bride' then no need to worry because Catholics don't do this in their weddings because the Bride should be freely giving herself to the Groom.

Assuming no divorce has taken place, which would require an annulment, yes, if you have changed from Orthodox to Catholic it would be possible to renew your wedding vows in a Catholic Church. There would be no need for a full blown wedding, however, as the Catholic Church does accept the sacraments of the Orthodox Church as valid.

The Catholic wedding vows have never included the promise to obey.

In the Catholic vows, both parties promise "to love and to cherish."

Well, since the Catholic Church is not involved in the wedding, one would best address this question to a minister in the Church of England. The Catholic Stance on this wedding is that the divorced Catholic would be committing adultery as the Sacrament of Marriage is a commitment until death.
