Hey- not without Michael. The don can't even take a picture without Michael. Mikey had to get back from the war. And Carlo's deferrment? I'm sure Vito took care of that to make sure his daughter could be married off. Better to have a long engagement and secure the husband rather than losing the husband and being stuck with an old spinster daughter moping around the house, whining about what could have been.
