The play starts off with the Friar picking out flowers and weeds, putting them in his basket. Romeo goes to find the Friar and discusses his marriage proposal with Juliet, asking him to wed them. The Friar unsure of their love first hesitates, and doesn't think that this is real love, since the change between Rosaline to Juliet was so sudden. However, he agrees, since he thinks that it will help the Montagues and the Capulet finally find peace within each other. The next day Mercutio and Benvolio tease Romeo about running away and question him about it, in a mocking tone. Romeo apoplogizes and defends himslef, by saying that it was abolutley nessasry that he took that action. Juliet's Nurse goes to find Romeo, warning him that he shouldn't "deal double." After Romeo assures that his love for Juliet is real, she agrees to tell Juliet to go to the Friar's cell that afternoon. After the information was delivered to Juliet, they met up in the Friar's cell, and the happy couple were married.
