In most states your marriage license is your proof of marriage. There are any number of people who can sign a marriage license. If the judge is an elected official and has jurisdiction in your state then he can sign your license. You can also take it to a notary public and get it notarized, no need for a wedding at all in some states. Mayors, Justice of the Peace, Boat Captains all can get you legally married. The importance to the state is that you file the proper paperwork.

Although there are judges for that specific purpose; any judge can marry a couple as long as it is within the legal boundaries.

In general your choices for officiant for your wedding are clergyman, Judge, or Justice of the Peace. But the specifics can vary from state to state. You can always google wedding, officiant, and your state to find details about your area.
Edit: I see about.com has an article on this--I wouldn't take it as the final word, as I see some problems in the list, but you could start here:

Yes. You can go to your count courthouse and have a justice of the peace perform the ceremony. Take two witnesses with you.

Yes, if the couple doesn't believe in a religion. Marriage is based on paperwork or by a reverend.
