Here is the complete order of the marriage Mass: Catholic Wedding Help.
No, you can still have the Mass if the non-Catholic agrees to your oath of raising children Catholic and all the other requirements of the Carholic marriage. However, the non-Catholic cannot receive Holy Communion.
The Kyrie Eleison is in Greek but not commonly used during Mass these days in favor of the English penitential rites.
Under normal conditions a Roman Catholic cannot substitute a Coptic Mass, which is an Orthodox Church, for his Sunday obligation to assist at a Catholic Mass unless there is no Catholic Church in the area. However, a Catholic may attend a Coptic wedding or funeral in the same way he may attend a Protestant funeral or wedding.
Yes, you can choose to have a wedding ceremony with or without the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
Roman Catholic AnswerCandles at a Wedding usually are just the normal candles used at Mass, as most Catholic weddings should take place with a Mass. Often the Paschal candle may be used, at the discretion of the pastor. The candles on the altar are required and both represent the light of Christ and respect for the Mass itself. "Unity candles" are not an approved option for a Catholic wedding.
If it is simply a wedding service, only the Sacrament of Matrimony is received. If the marriage is held as part of a Mass, then the Sacrament of Eucharist is also received.

Yes; the non-catholic can be a witness ( best man, etc.) but for a Mass cannot receive communion. The non-Catholic can even be the bride or groom with proper paperwork filled out and certain oaths of the Catholic party witnessed
A double wedding is when 2 couples get married, but a mass wedding is when several couples marry at once.
The actual wedding ceremony is not shown in the Shakespeare play. Such ceremonies never were, probably because it would be considered blasphemous. However, since everyone in Romeo and Juliet was Catholic, we may assume that it was a Catholic ceremony, probably with a private mass attached.
