It is absolutely correct as long as you have established or will soon establish that you are either a vicar or registrar.

It is technically correct, but the use of the word meaning "to join in wedlock" to mean "to conduct the ceremony" is the subject of a ton and a half of jokes and numerous logic puzzles. To be absolutely clear and avoid any misunderstandings, humourous or otherwise, I'd say "I am conducting my daughter's wedding ceremony"

It would perhaps convey the meaning better if you included the grooms name in the sentence or perhaps say "I am marrying my daughter and her fiance"
I am not sure if it is legal to conduct the marriage of one of your children so perhaps the problem will never arise?

You are conducting your daughters wedding. This would mean you are going to be the Pastor or officiant over the marriage vows. " I am marrying my daughter" would mean you are going to be her husband.

Well, it sounds fine but can be misinterpreted. I think saying I am conducting my daughter's marriage sounds much better. Otherwise, people are going to be giving you some funny looks!

It can be said in 2 ways.
1."I am marrying my daughter to -----"
2."I am getting my daughter married."

The language is fine but your choice of words is bit ambiguous.
You could try saying you are officiating at your daughters wedding.

Well perhaps you should say I am performing my daughter's wedding. It would allow for less confusion as to what you are doing.

it might be better to say "i am marrying my daughter and her husband" or "i am peforming the ceremony at my daughter's wedding."
just saying "i am marrying my daughter" makes it sound like you are being married to you daughter... so i'd avoid that phrase.. people can be cruel.....
hope that helps..
