Paris visits Lord Capulet to ask for Juliet's hand in marriage. Lord Capulet thinks Juliet is too young to marry saying to Paris 'Let two more summers wither in their pride, / Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride'. However, he later encourages Paris to woo her at a ball at his house.

In Act 1, scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet and Juliet's Nurse tell Juliet that she should consider marrying Paris because he has already expressed interest in marrying her. ... She tells her to keep her eye on Paris at the party to determine if she could marry him.

Romeo, Benvolio, and their friend Mercutio, all wearing masks, have gathered with a group of mask-wearing guests on their way to the Capulets' feast. ... Mercutio begins to gently mock Romeo, transforming all of Romeo's statements about love into blatantly sexual metaphors.

From across the room, Romeo sees Juliet, and asks a servingman who she is. ... Capulet overhears Tybalt and reprimands him, telling him that Romeo is well regarded in Verona, and that he will not have the youth harmed at his feast. Tybalt protests, but Capulet scolds him until he agrees to keep the peace.
