Wayne Temple thesis on why the Lincolns got married quick.

[Liz Rosenthal]

Apparently, AL and Mary had been meeting secretly in the home of Simeon Francis, who is credited with getting them back together. The idea is that they were given privacy to become reacquainted. If that is the case, they had their opportunity for premarital relations. But I'm not convinced that that's what happened. As Roger says, we'll never know.
