As we watched GF and GF2 to aid in Thanksgiving Day digestion, one of my cousins asked, "How long were Mike and Appalonia married?" I don't recall this topic ever being posted. It is a rather unexciting topic that doesn't have any bearing on the plot. But I said, maybe a few weeks. After all he taught her the days of the week. Is there any hard evidence or just speculation.

When has that ever stopped us from discussing something here?

Ain't that the truth!

Let's see, he met her, they got married, he taught her to drive in circles, Sonny was killed, and then they were going to move. Doesn't seem like a lot of time elapsed.

According to the timeline I posted a while back, based on the novel, Michael and Appolonia were married probably less than two months before she was killed.

In a deleted scene, Mike tells Manolo "It was only a couple of months, but I was already tired of her. That bomb in the car wasn't meant for me."

Yes! Now I recall, Manolo was the gardener at the villa. In an undeleted scene you can just catch a glimpse of his butt as he bends over to pick some weeds. He is off to the right when Fabrizio runs through the gate. Supposedly he suffered some deafness in his right ear from the blast; some second degree burns on his right arm.

No, no. Manolo was the Corleone gardner. He was never in Sicily. I think you are thinking of Calo's "friend".

"January, February, Aprily, Eseptembrery..."

Not too long cause they never had a fight.
Wonder how long they were engaged.
