Church policy is basically against (novelty) or ( stunt) weddings and on solid Canon law grounds. Of course one can argue grounds such as cemeteries are consecrated or blessed- but for the burial of the dead! Nobody wants to conduct a wedding in a cemetery! Parks seem a likely venue but again the policy is basically counter. They don"t like (novelty) weddings, want to maintain churchly dignity- and this is best done in the church itself- the building- as it is a church, there would be no problems with sanctified ground, etc, the foundation is already there! On the other hand , there have been outdoor masses at camps and for nature studies- but these are NOT weddings.
A monstrance is a receptacle used for holding a Consecrated Host (as Catholics be believe that when the bread [hosts] and wine are Consecrated during Mass they truly become the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ) for Adoration by the faithful.
The bread and wine consecrated by a Catholic priest is transubstantiated to the body and blood of Christ. Although the catholic church respects the EPISCOPAL church which is very close in its teachings, there are subtle differences in the meaning of Eucharist and therefore transubstantiation is a prime doctrine of the Catholic church ( and some orthodox churches) only.
