Teyve is laying in bed when he acts like he woken up by a bad dream and his wife makes him tell her his dream. In his dream all of their dead relatives are telling them that Tzeitel cannot marry the butcher Lazar Wolf. Then the butchers dead ex wife comes up and says that she will pity them both if they get married but on the third week she would come back and kill her. Golde believes that it was really a nightmare he had when really he just made it up.
Tzeitel and Motel are having theyre wedding. The whole town came out in a parade with candles to walk them to theyre wedding. There is a celebration afterwards and a guy puts a wine bottle on his head and starts dancing. Then three other guys do it and they are all holding hands doing it with bottles on theyre heads. In the middle of the reception, Lazar Wolf gets up and is very angry that he is not marrying Tzeitel. Perchik is trying to calm everyone down and make everyone understand that dancing with women is not bad. So everyone is up dancing with everyone. Then some men on horses and come and ruin the whole thing. They tear up all of the wedding presents and wreck the whole place then just leave. Well. Set the buildings on fire and tear everything down.
Hodel is upset that Perchik has to leave in the morning. Hes telling her that he wants to talk about marriage. He is asking her to marry him and now they are both really happy. Then they run into Teyve and tell him that they are engaged but he disapproves. They don't want his permission because they will do it anyways but are only asking for his blessing. He decides to let them marry anyways. And again he doesn't know how to tell his wife they are getting married. Well he just comes out and says it then runs out the door then comes back in and they are trying to figure out what to do.
Perchikgoes into a city and is giving a speech when out of no where some army men come and pull out their swords and attack. Perchik sends Hodel a letter for her to come to him. She wants to go to Siberia and marry Perchik there so he wont have to be alone in his work. She leaves on the train and he doesn't know when the next time he will see her is.
Motel gets a sewing machine and apparently they had a baby boy. Chava and Fyedka are talking about getting married then they go to talk to Tevye about it and Fyedka leaves then Chava tells them how they feel but Tevye says no because he is not Jewish then goes on rampage. Golde goes to a church wanting to speak with the Priest because of a family issue.
Golde finds Tevye on the road and tells him that Chava has left town and has married Fyedka. Tevye is upset and is starting to remember what a good child she was. Chava comes up to him on the road begging him to accept them. He says no because there is nothing good out of it and he will not turn his back on his faith.
Back in town the matchmaker comes and sets up the two younger daughters with two fine boys. Then some man comes and tells the village that they have three days before they will be forced out if they do not pack up and move.
