Priests are also responsible for daily recitation of the principal and minor offices of the Liturgy of the Hours.

Do Catholics need to get married in the presence of a priest or a deacon?
Yes, and by a Catholic Priest specifically. The Catholic faith believes that priests are acting "in persona Christi" which means, "in the person of Christ," and that in every official act, they are "becoming" Christ, who is then actually performing whatever action is happening, from confession to last rites to marriage, etc. So, based on that belief, only Christ can officially marry people, and thus, only a priest, and only a Catholic Priest, and so unless Catholics are married with a Catholic Priest presiding (and I believe within a Catholic Church itself), it will not be recognized as an official and sanctified Catholic wedding. You can get more information at the website listed below (The Catholic Catechism as put on the web by the Vatican), or by looking through a copy of the Catholic Catechism itself. I might be a little messed up on some of the understanding of how "in persona Christi" works, but I do know that in order to be recognized as "married" by the Catholic Church, the answer is YES.Roman Catholic AnswerThe answer above is helpful, but it needs to be clear that Catholics marry each other, they are not technically "married" by anyone else. As baptized Christians, they are the ministers of the sacrament of marriage. But there must be a priest there as a representative of the Church, and, of course, of Jesus Christ, to witness the marriage. In that sense, yes, they must be married in front of a priest. Minor CorrectionAccording to Can. 1108 §1, a deacon can also perform a marriage but, of course, could not offer the Nuptial Mass.
