Being teenagers, the two decide to sneak a visit after the party. They end up proclaiming their love to each other and deciding to get married the following day. So in the morning Romeo visits a character named Friar Lawrence, who agrees to marry them. Friar Lawrence wants the two to get married in the hopes that the union will end the feud between the two families forever.
Once Romeo leaves, he meets up with Benvolio and Mercutio, and they joke around for a bit. Afterwards, Romeo meets Juliet's nurse and apprises her of the plan (the two lovers are to be married later that very same day).
The Nurse returns to Juliet, teases her a bit, and finally tells her everything she heard from Romeo. The two are set to be happily married by Friar Lawrence.
Even though I've read the book so many times I've lost count, I still can't get over the fact that the two lovers meet one night, and are getting married the very next day. I'm pretty sure they're in their early teens too. I can't decide if it's true love or if the two are just acting recklessly because they are infatuated with each other.
