Priests often used a lunar calendar and astrological observations to determine auspicious days for planting and marriage ceremonies. They would analyze the phases of the moon and the positions of celestial bodies, believing that these factors influenced fertility and success. Additionally, they might consult omens or religious texts to guide their decisions on the timing of these important events.

(Since the questioner placed the question in the Catholiccategory, I will limit the scope of my answer to Catholic wedding ceremonies.) In many dioceses, permanent deacons regularly conduct Catholic marriage ceremonies, without, of course, the Nuptial Mass, which only a priest may celebrate. In dioceses with few priests the local bishop has delegated members of religious communites to conduct Catholic weddings.
You've got to be joking, right. What would a priest know about marriage?
A person in most churches who is qualified to perform religious duties and ceremonies.
Marriage, I think. Priest are not allowed to get married.
No, that would have to be granted by the bishop upon recommendation of a priest.
A child priest is often referred to as an "altar server" or an "acolyte." These young individuals assist in the rituals and ceremonies of the church.
A master of ceremonies at Mass must be a priest, or at least a cleric (deacon). As only men may be ordained, then that would rule out a woman being a master of ceremonies.
