Marriage is the consummation of "Nuptial love", ah Priests are celibate.
Deacons and Priest can "Bless" a marriage at the ceremony in church, but it's the couple who creates the marriage.
A Bishop will give "Holy Orders" to welcome a man into the seminary to become a Deacon, and it typically takes 4 years to go through the seminary. Deacons can get married. However, a Bishop may give them new "Holy Orders" to be a Priest if they remain celibate and are deemed to be called for more by God.
