Did he sleep with her on their honeymoon night?


The version I saw was on AMC so I don't know if it was edited out. It just shows him pulling back the blanket from her and muttering something.

i thought that was a few nights after the marriage?! but yes, i assumed that meant she was allowing it and he was happy about it too!

His muttering: "Lord!"

For me, it's hard to tell. We know Del Gue split right after the wedding ceremony, but we don't know if Johnson's honeymoon night was spent in the village. If so, Johnson may not have, since Swan was reluctant to have him even touch her hands to make the sign of the cross and nod while he said, "Religious." But, if their honeymoon night was the same night Swan allowed Johnson to pull back the buffalo robe after turning in, than he probably did.

When her face is scuffed up, and she complains about his beard, I took that as an acknowledgement that they'd finally, ahem, consummated their marriage. That was later on, when they both had hearts coming out of their eyeballs.
