What is Catholic dispensation?
A dispensation is a granted exception from the rules. In matters of discipline (not doctrine) a priest, bishop or the pope can grant a dispensation. To give some examples: A priest can grant someone a dispensation to miss mass on a given Sunday. A bishop can grant someone a dispensation to marry outside of the church. The pope can grant a dispensation allowing someone to be ordained a priest without first attending seminary school. This is not to be confused with doctrine. There is no such thing as a dispensation excusing someone from doctrine. For instance, the pope can't grant someone a dispensation to commit adultery. This is because it goes against the Church's doctrine, and everyone must follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Do priests have to be present at a Catholic wedding?
Church law requires Catholics to be married in the presence of a priest and two witnesses in order for the marriage to be valid. This is called "the canonical form of marriage". Catholics may receive a dispensation from their bishop from the canonical form. Without the dispensation, a marriage in any other form for Catholics would be considered invalid under Church law.
Can an interacial marriage that was previously dispensated 21 years ago without a priest present hold a catholic ceremony marriage now?
The question is not entirely clear, but there is no dispensation required for an interracial marriage. Perhaps it is a mixed marriage in regard to religion that was meant? If the dispensation to a mixed marriage has already been secured from the Catholic Church than this means the Church is willing to witness your marriage and you may proceed with the guidance of your parish priest.
Does the Catholic Church recognize marriage if a Catholic woman marries in a Episcopalian Church?
Any marriage, which takes place in the Catholic Church, is valid. When one wishes to marry, one should contact his local priest; the priest will give instructions to the couple and the non-Catholic must agree to raise the children in the Catholic Faith. If the priest determines that the intentions of the couple are in union with Church teachings, he will permit the marriage. However, if one were to marry outside the Church...the Marriage is not valid.

Is the marriage accepted if a Catholic gets married to an Anglican boy in an Anglican church?
A marriage between a Catholic and anyone outside the faith must get prior approval from the Pastor and Bishop of your diocese. If the marriage is in an Anglican Church (which could only happen with special permission from the bishop), then a Catholic priest would need to be present to witness the marriage. Under any other circumstances, no marriage would have taken place because by canon law, a Catholic must be married in a Catholic Church before a Catholic bishop, priest, or deacon.

Who erroneously said a non Catholic could not be married by a priest?
The Church, as far as I know, does not have a strict teaching on this so if an atheist and a Catholic want to get married they can as long as it is in the Church and they promise to raise their children as Catholics. . This is known as a mixed marriage, and is not allowed by Canon Law without a specific dispensation from the Bishop.
If a Roman Catholic woman marries a Greek Orthodox man without proper dispensation from Catholic Canonical Law can an annullment be obtained in the Catholic Church?

Under what conditions might a priest refuse the sacrament of matrimony to a couple?
