It was made patently obvious that in their families' view (or at least, in her family's view) the only purpose for their marriage is to BREED. There were repeated references made to "our growing family" and how "wonderful" it will be when it "continues to grow". Her sisters said something about being there with her when she has her babies (when, not if - and babies, plural).
And... at one point a group of women got out on the dance floor and started making motions as if rocking babies, while the band played "Rockabye Baby" 
I have the feeling that a baby had better materialize next May or else!

I think that Orthodox Jews are supposed to be fruitful and multiply. I have heard of Orthodox families with at least six children. Am I correct? Is that just Hassidic Jews?
