As there are no atheists priests, and weddings are a religious ceremony, atheists marry through common law marriage through a justice of the peace.
This is actually false:
There now stands a church called the "First Church of Atheism". The Church is dedicated to ordaining "Atheist Ministers" of sorts so that atheist can be married by an atheist. Basically, they can either not have a ceremony and just get the papers filled out, or they can have a ceremony, and the reverend can pretty much say whatever he (or more likely) the couple would like him to say.
A couple who are atheists can be married by the Justice of the Peace' or, they can have a garden wedding without a minister or priest present and have a more spiritually free wedding by someone who performs more hippy style weddings, but, they must have a license to marry a couple.
you will say your vows and the priest will then pronounce you man and wife.
Once the Minister or Priest has married the couple when the both say their 'I do's' and the Minister or Priest say, 'I now pronounce you man and wife.'
The opposite of a priest could be seen as a non-believer, an atheist, or someone who does not practice or associate with any religious beliefs or practices.
Of course you can. No one would ever try and stop you althoug the priest might not come if it wasn't a catholic wedding.
A Hindu Priest!
The priest renounced his faith and became an atheist.
whatever you can afford. No priest should demand a certain fee.

Not everyone, atheist or non atheist, wears a wedding ring. It is a personal choice to indicate marital status in our society. Many employers prohibit the wearing of rings of any description for safety reasons.
