A Change in Plans

Act 4, Scene 2: Today we prepared for Juliet's wedding. I had the servingman invite all the people on the list I created and hired twenty of the most skilled cooks in Verona. I only wanted the best for my daughter at this wedding and in general, but she just does not always see things my way. She's so stubborn, that Juliet. She will thank me later for everything I have done for her later though. I sent her to confession the other day and I think it kicked some sense into her because she returned to me with such a happy look on her face. That girl is such a turntable. I just don't understand her emotions sometimes. She then told me that she learned that disobeying your father is a sin. So she got on her knees for me and begged for forgiveness, telling me that she would do anything I said. That news delighted me so much! I wanted Paris to be notified about it immediately, but Juliet informed me that she had already met with him at the Friar's and treated him with the proper respect. That thrilled me even more! The whole issue with Juliet refusing to marry Paris should not have been a problem, for instantly doing as I say, when I say, is the way things should be. I was gladdened that she came to her senses anyway though. Since she seemed so much happier about the wedding, I scheduled it for tomorrow instead of Thursday and had the Nurse go with Juliet to pick out what she would wear. Lady Capulet tried to stop me from rescheduling the wedding because she knew that supplies would be low, but I told her not to worry and that I would handle everything. She then went to help Juliet with her outfit and jewelry as well. I thought the idea of Juliet and Paris being married was amazing and I set off to let Paris know about the change of plans in the wedding. I am so happy now because I feel that Juliet has found herself and is no longer a troubled girl. I now think that everything is going to work out perfectly.
