The County Paris

May 16, 1539

Today I fell in love with the beautiful Juliet Capulet and asked her father for her hand in marriage. My love for Juliet is so real that I wished to be wed to her as soon as possible. Unfortunately, my luck is not the greatest and her dad is very over-protective of her, so I must wait until she is older. To prove that my infatuation for Juliet is indeed true, I will impress her at the Capulet ball tonight and she will fall madly in love with me. When this happens, her father must let us be wed at once!

I am extremely happy to be able to say that Juliet and I will finally be getting married! It took a little bit of convincing, but Old Capulet and I have come to an agreement that the wedding will be in just three days. With no more than half a dozen friends present, it is not quite the extravagent wedding that I had in mind, but I would give up everything to make the beautiful Juliet Capulet my wife.

I woke up this morning feeling on top of the world and like nothing could ever make me happier than I already was. Today was my wedding day to Juliet, and also the day I had been waiting for my entire life. This happy and hopeful feeling was quickly washed over with pain and sorrow when I was informed of my fiancee's untimely death. Instead of spending my day preparing for the wedding and my night with my beautiful wife, I spent the day at a funeral service with half a dozen close friends and family, and my night in the Capulet's tomb with poor Juliet.
