A
priest

maid of honor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike the other six sacraments which are all administered by a bishop, priest, or deacon, the sacrament of matrimony is administered by the husband and wife to each other; the priest or deacon is merely the Church’s witness who blesses the union created by the exchange of consent.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a sacramental marriage, God’s love becomes present to the spouses in their total union and also flows through them to their family and community. By their permanent, faithful and exclusive giving to each other, symbolized in sexual intercourse, the couple reveals something of God’s unconditional love.

Detailed explanation-3: -The priest/deacon who celebrates a Catholic wedding is the Church’s official witness at the ceremony.
