At Anthony's party, it looked to me by the way they held hands after Michael told Connie to tell Merle goodbye that they were getting married. But by the time of Mama's wake, it looked like Connie was by herself because she told Michael (on her knees, nice touch!) that she wanted to stay closer to home, take care of things, realized he was being strong for her, etc. Of course, Connie seemed to have a penchant for dumping husbands quickly because in the earlier scene, Michael said, "The ink on your divorce isn't even dry and you're marrying again?"

In some version of a sequel or perhaps a draft, or even Weingertner, there was something to the effect that Connie and Merle did marry and they got on some fancy ocean liner. Michael found out and cut her line of credit and they were thrown off the boat and brought back to the US on some really crappy liner. After that Merle saw he wasn't going to get money out of Connie and he disappeared. I think that was from "Godfather Returns." Wouldn't it have been something if Michael had Merle whacked? Then he would have killed two of his sister's husbands.

It was in the script; I liked this scene a lot.
EXT. ITALIAN LUXURY LINER - DAY
The luxury liner making its way across the Atlantic.
INT. ITALIAN LUXURY LINER - MED. VIEW - DAY
The PURSER followed by several white uniformed associates knocks on the door of something designated the "Leonardo Suite." He is holding a telegram.
The door opens, and a tanned Merle peeks out of the door.
PURSER (holding up the telegram) I'm terribly sorry to disturb you but we have received two telegrams.
MERLE (reluctantly) Well...come in.
This entourage enters the suite, an impressive and beautifully spacious luxury suite. Connie is relaxing.
CONNIE What is it?
PURSER Yes. One is from our office in New York. The check that you wrote for your passage has been returned.
CONNIE Can't be...
MERLE Why don't you wire your bank?
PURSER The other telegram is from your bank. Your account has been closed and the company is warned not to extend any credit.
CONNIE I'll take care of it in Naples.
PURSER The company hopes so. But for now, we have orders to change your accommodations.
And with that, the men in white begin to pack Connie and Merle's luggage.
CONNIE That son of a bitch!
INT. ITALIAN LUXURY LINER - TINY THIRD CLASS CABIN - NIGHT
Connie and Merle are attempting to sleep in the miniature cabin in bunk beds. The little space is crowded with their trunks and luggage. Merle can barely hang onto the bunk, the boat pitches so violently below.
CHRISTIAN You desecrated a classic film. This is worse than "Godfather III." GIBSON Whoa, whoa, hey, whoa! Let's not say things we can't take back. CHRISTIAN All right, all right, I'm sorry.
