Part 1: Match the words from the box with the pictures

We are given 13 labeled pictures (a to m) and a list of 52 vocabulary words related to weddings. We need to match each picture with the correct word(s) from the list.

Let’s analyze each image:

#### Image a – A ring
- This is clearly an engagement ring or wedding ring.
- The word "an engagement ring" (6) or "a wedding ring" (8) fits.
- Since it's one ring, likely "an engagement ring" (6).

✔ Answer: 6. an engagement ring

---

#### Image b – A woman in a white dress
- This is the bride.
- Word: "a bride" (10)

✔ Answer: 10. a bride

---

#### Image c – A man in a suit
- This is the groom.
- Word: "a bridegroom" (11)

✔ Answer: 11. a bridegroom

---

#### Image d – A decorated cake
- This is a wedding cake.
- Word: "a wedding cake" (23)

✔ Answer: 23. a wedding cake

---

#### Image e – Two women in white dresses
- These are bridesmaids, but they’re wearing wedding dresses? Wait — actually, they might be bridesmaids in matching dresses.
- But since both are in white, possibly two brides? Unlikely. More likely, bridesmaids.
- Word: "a bridesmaid" (12)

But wait — two people. So maybe "attendants" (41)?

But "attendants" is plural and includes both bridesmaids and groomsmen.

However, these are clearly bridesmaids — women in matching dresses.

✔ Answer: 12. a bridesmaid (but note: only one word per box; so we pick the best fit)

Actually, the image shows two bridesmaids, so "bridesmaids" would be better, but the word is listed as "a bridesmaid" (12) — singular.

So, still best match: 12. a bridesmaid

✔ Answer: 12. a bridesmaid

---

#### Image f – Two rings
- Two rings, likely wedding rings.
- Word: "a wedding ring" (8) — but there are two, so perhaps "wedding rings" — but the list has "a wedding ring" (8).

Still, it matches best.

✔ Answer: 8. a wedding ring

(Alternatively, if you consider both rings, maybe "to get married" (7), but that's not a noun.)

No — the picture is of rings, so 8. a wedding ring is best.

✔ Answer: 8. a wedding ring

---

#### Image g – Ties (blue, red, gray)
- These are bow ties.
- Word: "bow ties" (31)

✔ Answer: 31. bow ties

---

#### Image h – A man in black robes
- This is a priest / vicar.
- Word: "a priest / vicar" (48)

✔ Answer: 48. a priest / vicar

---

#### Image i – A bouquet of red flowers
- This is a bouquet.
- Word: "a bouquet" (42)

✔ Answer: 42. a bouquet

---

#### Image j – Three women in pink dresses
- These are bridesmaids again.
- Word: "a bridesmaid" (12)

✔ Answer: 12. a bridesmaid

(Though plural, the word is singular — still acceptable for matching.)

---

#### Image k – A cartoon couple getting married
- Looks like a wedding proposal or marriage.
- The word "to propose to someone" (9) fits, but it's an action.

But the image shows a man giving a ring to a woman — classic proposal scene.

So: "to propose to someone" (9)

✔ Answer: 9. to propose to someone

---

#### Image l – A long white veil
- This is a veil.
- Word: "a veil" (47)

✔ Answer: 47. a veil

---

#### Image m – A flower on a lapel
- This is a boutonniere.
- Word: "a boutonniere" (43)

✔ Answer: 43. a boutonniere

---
