Yes, and that's how we are introduced to the character of Michael in the begining of GF. He kids around with her at the wedding, he's playful and witty with her at the hotel, and he's even loose and carefree when he's with her walking the streets in NYC. That is until she sees the headline and he realizes that his father has been shot. But I believe that showing Michael in this manner was FFC's way of laying the groundwork to make us see the drastic transformation that took place in Michael.

Good point. One of the more interesting things about the Mike-Kay thing is that when Mike comes to New Hampshire to ask her to marry him he really looks the part of a Mafioso, whereas before he looked more like the "clean cut college kid" Sonny was always teasing. I wonder if that's what Kay means in GF III when she says she liked him better when he was just a "Common Mafia Hood"
