Juliet's Thoughts #3

This morning I did exactly as Romeo said to. When the bell tolled nine times, I sent Nurse and her man Peter to go find Romeo. Nurse promised to return in half an hour, but three dreadfully long hours later she still hadn't returned. Just as I was starting to worry, I saw her coming up the walk. I rushed to her, eager to hear my dear Romeo's message, but all Nurse could speak of were her aching back and head. Finally she told me that Romeo wanted me to go to the church under the disguise of going to confession. Father agreed, and I arrived at the church within the hour. After a few loving kisses from Romeo, Friar Laurence took my hand and led me to the altar. Now I'm a married woman! I can't stop smiling, but I'm so nervous! Nurse put a rope ladder under my balcony so that my new husband can be with me tonight. It's almost time for him to arrive now. God in heaven, what do I do??

Juliet's Thoughts #2

The party tonight was fascinating! I met a man who drove Paris completely from my mind. We danced and kissed, and he treated me like I was an angel. It was only as he was leaving that I found out his name is Romeo, and he is a Montague. I've fallen in love with a man born as my enemy! But that's not the worst (or best) of the night. After the party, as I was standing at my window speaking to myself about what I think about my dear Romeo, he appeared beneath my balcony and revealed that he had heard everything. The embarrassment was unbelievable! But he claims to love me as much, if not more, than I love him. We have agreed to be married tomorrow. I will send him a servant tomorrow morning, and Romeo will tell him when and where the ceremony will take place. Oh, but what of Paris? Father will be so disappointed! Romeo and I know we must leave as soon as we're married, but I don't mind. Spending the rest of my life with my one true love is all I want, no matter what the consequences.

It seems as though I have gone through the day in a daze. My nurse told me that quite the skirmish broke out in the streets today. Some of the Montague's servants provoking some of ours again, no doubt. Ugh! I wasn't permitted to know who was involved, but I hope my cousin Tybalt wasn't there making a fool of himself. He has such a temper! At any rate, that wasn't the worst of the day. Today my mother told me Paris has asked to marry me! Marry! I'm but thirteen summers old! The thought of marriage has never crossed my mind, but I suppose I'm not opposed to it. I only wish it doesn't have to be while I'm still so young. Mother says Paris is very handsome and rich, but I want a man who will love me. Will Paris? I must stop worrying! And now I must go make myself pretty for Father's party tonight. Mother and my nurse have hinted that Paris will be here, so I must present myself at my best.
