I think this is probably the only scene which is entirely fiction. It presents William Severn and Mary Astle, who actually marry aboard the Horizon in a few weeks. However as to their romance I know nothing. All I know of them is that they were married on the Horizon and were members of the Martin Handcart Company. However, it was not unusual for relations to take place through the mail during this period when travel was more difficult.
