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.

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?
