What robes does a Anglican priest wear at a wedding?
Sartorial custom, as with everyday life, depends on the Season. Weddings are not permitted if in close contact with certain religious seasons ( such as Lent) or major church holidays ( including Advent) there are big chunks of the calendar that are Off limits. furthermore, they are normally ( for reasons of traffic control) scheduled on Saturdays for two reasons- l. Saturdays are associated with St. Mary, the Blessed Mother, and motherhood. 2. Saturdays do not conflict with regularily scheduled Mass traffic- as on Sundays. We have already ruled out major ( Two-Flag) though this phrase is not used- combos such as Christmas or other major holidays. the apparel of the Priest is keyed to the season- for Saint Patrick"s day- Green takes the field! These are regular priestly vestments, not , of course Camouflage army duds!
Roman Catholic AnswerIf the wedding is taking place during a Mass, then the priest would wear Mass vestments: alb, stole, chasuble; if no Mass, then either an alb and stole, or a cassock, surplice, and stole as he would wear for any sacrament that was not at Mass.Could an Anglican priest marry?
As far as I know the majority of priests within the Catholic Church have always been able to marry. No one forced them to do so, but to about the 13th C, there were always groups opposed to married clergy!
Chief amongst them were the supporters of the papacy and they appeared to win their way slowly after about the time of Henry III. But it was never a catholic principle deeply held either way! Celibacy was imposed in the Anglican Church for about 300 yrs!
Collier. Ecclesiastical History! Vol.2.
Well, as far as you know, YOU DONT KNOW, sorry, how about you read the Catecism of the Church before you attempt to answer this?
Anglican Catholic Answer!
The question was about Anglican Priests and marriage. Celibacy was imposed only for about 300 yrs, till Henry's time, both he and Queen Elizabeth agreed with a celibate clergy!
Well over half the Clergy of the Church, the Orthodox Clergy for instance, do not hold to celibacy except for bishops.
By the 'Catechism of the Church,' I presume you are referring to the Roman Chatechism, which I have read in part. But what of it? It is not the Catechism of the whole Church and it has its fair share of errors in other subjects so why should we follow it in this matter? Besides which, the Holy Roman Church is no more than a segment of the Catholic Church and doesn't cover Traditional Catholics!

A marriage between a Catholic and anyone outside the faith must get prior approval from the Pastor and Bishop of your diocese. If the marriage is in an Anglican Church (which could only happen with special permission from the bishop), then a Catholic priest would need to be present to witness the marriage. Under any other circumstances, no marriage would have taken place because by canon law, a Catholic must be married in a Catholic Church before a Catholic bishop, priest, or deacon.

How do Anglican churchs celebrate Christmas?
Apart from a small group of Anglicans that represent the Catholic wing of the Anglican denomination - usually called 'AngloCatholics' - Anglicans do not celebrate the 'mass', but instead call the same service Holy Communion, The Lord's Supper or the Eucharist, depending upon the individual local church's tradition. Also, apart from the group named above, most Anglicans reject the doctrine of transubstantiation, as it is in conflict with scripture, and is warned against in the 39 Articles of Faith of the Anglican Church as leading to superstition surrounding the consecrated bread and wine. Anglicans, then, mostly regard the Communion as a memorial of Jesus' death and resurrection, regard the bread and wine as symbols of his body and blood, and reject the Catholic doctrine of resacrifice and the real bodily presence of Christ at the service in favour of his spiritual presence. That all said, most Anglicans celebrate Holy Communion weekly or, at least, have the opportunity of celebrating weekly, although in some churches there are mid-week services of Holy Communion as well.

Do protestant make the sign of the cross?
Yes, we do, although many do not. Making the sign of the cross is typically associated with those who identify themselves as 'High Church', or 'catholic' (with a small 'c' here). Making the sign of the cross is, however, a purely personal choice and Anglicans from all liturgical backgrounds do so.
Of those Anglicans who chose to cross, they make the sign at the invocation of the Holy Trinity, that is to say 'In the name of the Father &c.' Anglicans also cross before receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and when remembering the dead in their prayers.
Many also chose to cross themselves with Holy Water from the font, especially during the renewal of baptismal rights at Easter.

Why do some churches have no holy water?
Holy Water is a reminder of our Baptism and it remits the stain of venial sin along with imparting a blessing.
694 Water. The symbolism of water signifies the Holy Spirit's action in Baptism, since after the invocation of the Holy Spirit it becomes the efficacious sacramental sign of new birth: just as the gestation of our first birth took place in water, so the water of Baptism truly signifies that our birth into the divine life is given to us in the Holy Spirit. As "by one Spirit we were all baptized," so we are also "made to drink of one Spirit." Thus the Spirit is also personally the living water welling up from Christ crucified as its source and welling up in us to eternal life. (CCC 694)
" ...Thirdly, because they include a movement of reverence for God and Divine things; and in this way a bishop's blessing, the sprinkling of holy water, any sacramental anointing, a prayer said in a dedicated church, and anything else of the kind, conduce to the remission of venial sins. ...." (Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica; Question 87, Article 3, I Answer That...)
