They got married years after Dutch and John cut all contact.

John has no real dealings with the gang (outside of Uncle)

Sure they met one time in the mountains but it wasn't like "Hi Dutch, BTW me and Abby got married! :D" before pointing guns at each other.

Yet in Blackwater Dutch knew they got married. He had no intercourse with Bill or Javier either so how did he know?

When he was like "This guy here married a whore! We all had her but he married her!" it would have been awkward as hell if John was like "WTF, no I didn't. We had a really nasty break up, now I'm dating a French girl called Camille."

I think John was unfortunately quite well known for hunting famous outlaws by then; he went by the same name, he had pretty crazy exploits in Mexico and Thieves Landing. Dutch would have done some light investigating I'm sure, and John wasn't super private about the story.

Think it woulda been easy enough for Dutch to find out some info on his old friend John.

Even if they were, which I doubt. John was a wanted man. He wouldn't promote it like that

They might have used that fake name he uses in the epilogue, and maybe hed used it in the past and Dutch recognized it

or its just a plot hole lol

It makes no sense when there was no social media to post pics of the wedding or even reception

It's fiction. It's a video game. It doesn't have to make sense. We don't see everything that happens. We don't see Dutch take a shit, yet he's definitely a pooper.

iirc, like Abigail said, they were "married" already, but John wanted to make it official both legally and spiritually at the end of RDR2.

Ugh. Hate this sort of take. It adds nothing to a discussion when people want to just write stuff off like that. If TC thought about it and others replied it's worth thinking about and discussing.

You could just not post if you don't want to discuss the narrative points of something.

I did discuss it. You just don't like my explanation. You could just not post if you don't like my explanation.

That would stll be awkward if he and Abigail broke up years ago, and Dutch didn't know that at the bank while he rants about "marrying a whore" years ago

I don't think Dutch really gave a shit about awkward or looking crazy at that point lol.
