Yes, of course. People should marry who they want to marry! Some churches require that one person is of the the other persons denomination. One may want to check with their pastor or priest on that.

Can a resigned Catholic priest marry?

A priest who resigns is considered to have resigned from the Church itself and is no longer considered as a Catholic. Since he is no longer Catholic he is free to do as he pleases. However, a priest can remain in the Church as a Catholic if he is laicized. To be laicized the bishop of the diocese would have to declare the priest's Holy Orders as null and void. In other words, he would no longer be a priest. He, too, would be free to marry but would still be considered a Catholic.

Does the Deacon have the same authority as a priest to bless religious articles such as rosaries etc and to bless the home Do you pay the priest for the blessing?

Deacons have pretty much the same authority as priests when it comes to blessing items and homes. A gift to the priest or deacon that makes a special effort to come out and do you a favor is always a good thing, but it is never required. Charging for sacraments or sacramental is known as simony and is a very bad thing. In other words, you may offer something to the priest, but you may not "pay" him.
