Is a monstrance the same thing as a tabernacle?
No, they are not the same things though they both may hold the Eucharist. The Catholic church keeps the consecrated host, called the Eucharist, in a tabernacle in the church. The tabernacle is usually behind the altar, but visible. It has a door that is always locked. Beside this tabernacle is a lighted candle that burns as long as the Eucharist is in the tabernacle. At the next mass, the Host, will be taken out of the tabernacle to be distributed to the faithful at communion. The monstrance is usually an elaborate, ornate vessel that displays one consecrated host. This display is usually visible for Eucharistic adoration or similar prayer service. After the prayer service, the Host would be put back in the tabernacle.

What if married outside the church and can't have a catholic priest at the ceremony How do you get the church to recognize your marriage?
The question needs to be expanded as there are many things to consider. A Catholic can marry outside the church as long as it is in another Christian church and recognized by the Catholic church if the non catholic party agrees to your oath to raise the children as Catholic. The priest does not have to be present. The marriage must be in church, it cannot be outside the church in a garden or country club, unless the non-catholic party is Jewish or Muslim (out of respect) and again agrees to the children being brought up as Catholic If two catholics are married by a Justice of the Peace outside of church they can have their marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,as long as this was first marriage for both.
