Juliet

Oh joy! Oh ecstasy! I have just come from the chapel. I, Juliet Capulet, and Romeo Montague were bound together in matrimony this very afternonn. I, age 13 (soon to be 14) and he, Romeo, age 16. Was this smart? Is this real?
But oh! Married! Me! Now! To the love of my life! Romeo! Montague..... Oh my. This is going to be interesting there is no doubt. My parents will not take to this well, and neither will his.
How shall we break it? When? Sooner, later, never, now? How long can I be married and a maid, married and yet pursued? Paris still wishes to woo me, but I am taken. Married. What happens when I no longer look to like? What will Mother say? What will Father say when I refuse his suit? They will want to know why... Just last night I said I would look to like, and do whatever my Mother and Father wish. But it is no longer so. I am married. To a Montague! I have already denied my parents and all their wishes.
But oh! Can one be so happy? Really, my soul has taken wing! Life is a beautiful thing. Romeo, the love of my life, is my partner for life. Married. To spend life together. 'til death do us part.... Sigh. Can you love more? None can know what I feel. Sweet Romeo... How can you feel so many different things at the same time? Pure happiness, a bubbling of love, a worry so intense one has a headache, an ache of the heart, a guilt for decieving one's parents, a feeling of exhilaeration because one has denied one's parents. So many emotions! Emotions that cannont be described! Emotions you can't put into words! Emotions so intense they affect you physically! Oh but my love is boundless. I cannot wait to see my love again. Soon. As soon as possible. My husband....
