to be married

I went last night back to the Capulet's home to see Juliet. I snuck away from Benvolio and Mercutio. I was waiting outside a window and balcony, wishing on the moon when i heard the voice of my Juliet. First it was soft, and i could hardly hear her, i was only able to pick out bits and pieces of what she was saying, but i did pick out Romeo once or twice. Then it got louder, she spoke to the moon as well. I remember clearly, she asked it "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name;Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." I almost gave in here, and spoke back to her, but before i was able to think of what to say, she continued, "'Tis but thy name that is my enemy:Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,Nor arm nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name, which is no part of thee,Take all myself." this is when i knew that i was in love with her. I was in love with Juliet, and i was almost sure she was in love with me as well. So i talked to her, i talked up to her on her balcony, and i went up to her. and we kissed and we talked. and i told her that i loved her, and she told me she loved me too. and when i told her i swore on the moon, she told me not to, because the moon is inconsistent. She told me that if i still felt the same way in the morning, i was to send a letter by ten to tell her that i wanted to marry her. so i left, and i went and got approval from Friar Lawrence for the marriage. Me and Juliet are to be married this afternoon at the Friar's cell. I am so happy to finally be united with my love in marriage, i cannot wait till this afternoon.
