Marriage...

I hear news of Juliet and Romeo from Juliet right after the party was held. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. A marriage to the enemy’s son I hear? I must keep this a secret because if and of the Capulet or Montague households hear of this, the marriage will be ruined!

I met with Romeo and all the Montagues the next morn. I was to deliver a message to Romeo as to when the wedding would be held. Those Montagues were rather rude fellows, insulting me. Finally I found Romeo, as I delivered the message to him, the other Montagues left. As I and young Romeo spoke, he mentioned the wedding plans, “Bid her devise, some means to come to shrift this afternoon; and there she shall at Friar Laurence’ cell, be shrived and married. Here is for thy pains.”

As I entered the household of Capulet, I was weary and tired. As I walked in the door of fair Juliet’s bedroom, Juliet rushed towards me asking when the wedding was. Quite an anxious one she is, so I took my sweet time explaining the news to her young ears. She was panicking as I took my time, and burst out, “Here’s such a coil! Come, what says my Romeo?”

Juliet had little to time to be ready for the marriage as it was almost afternoon and she was not prepared. Juliet seemed happy, yet nervous at the same time. I think Romeo is a swell guy and he would make a good husband for dear Juliet. Juliet left the house to be married to Romeo as my work here was done.
