The Catholic Church can and does perform marriages for a Catholic and a non-Catholic (mixed marriages). Generally, Lutheran weddings are left to be performed by Lutheran pastors, though.

Catholic AnswerI think what you are asking is can a wedding that took place in a Lutheran Church be blessed by a priest in the Catholic Church. I teach in the RCIA and we have many people coming into the Church whose marriages are in questionable circumstances - as far as the Church is concerned. Marriage is a sacrament, and can only be validly celebrated by two baptized individuals of the opposite sex who are both eligible to marry. A Lutheran wedding between two baptized protestants would be a valid marriage. When someone is converting to the Catholic Church and already married, in whatever circumstances, in most cases, they must be married again before a priest to validly enact the sacrament. Lay folk often refer to this a having the "marriage blessed by a priest" (or the Catholic Church).
No, for a Catholic to attempt a marriage in the Lutheran church would be to automatically excommunicate himself. This would involve a lot more than just going to Confession. The Catholic would either have to civilly divorce the spouse of the invalid marriage or apply to the Church to have the marriage sanctified by a priest or deacon. Until the situation is rectified and preceded by a good Confession, the Catholic would be unable to receive Holy Communion, would be required to refrain from sexual relations with the invalidly married "spouse" and is still required to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.
