### In the lessons

In everyday life and lessons about families and religions, weddings take place in churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, gurdwaras, register offices or outdoors, with different customs: a bride and groom, rings, vows, a cake, speeches, dancing. Children may be bridesmaids, flower girls or page boys. In maths, wedding planning gives problems about seats, tables and costs. Phrases: «go to a wedding», «wedding dress», «wedding ring», «wedding cake», «wedding day».
