The meaning I get from the first sentence is that "Katty" is a minster and performed a wedding ceremony in which Ann and John were married.

The meaning I get from the second sentence is that both John and Katty were married to John. :o

WITH is occasionally used with the same meaning as TO.

1. Katty married Ann to John.
2. Katty married Ann with John.
Sentence 1 makes sense to me, but sentence 2 doesn't. Is sentence 2 grammatically correct?

marry - Definition from Longman English Dictionary Online
<marry>
to find a husband or wife for one of your children
"marry somebody to somebody"
- She was determined to marry all of her daughters to rich men.
