I don't think she's pregnant either. She is just holding up her heavy train up against her belly. Judging from the surroundings, the economic status of the couple would allow her to afford a luxurious, heavy dress for her wedding. The fruit on the window is suppose to symbolize fertility, so I think it's suppose to mean they'll have kids, IN THE FUTURE.
