Advice Column =)

Dear Advice Group,

I am having some issues with some decisions I’ve done in the past. You see there are these two people and they are madly in love, sense they first met they have been inseparable. But their love has sprung from the most profound hate I have ever known. Both their families would kill each other is they had a chance to, yet now their only children are madly in love. They came to me in need, they wanted to get married, a marriage with no one knowing, all they wanted was to have their lives connected to one another. I gave it to them. I married them two not a long while ago. Now Tybalt and Mercutio got in a fight, Mercutio died, Romeo in rage killed Tybalt and now he is going to be banished!!! Juliet is broken and scared and Lady Capulet miss understanding the concept of their love believes that the only way to relieve her sorrow is if she marries Paris right away! She asked me of all people to do it. But I already married Romeo and Juliet, I can’t remarry her. Now Romeo is going to be banished, Juliet needs to get married again, and I don’t know what to do! I don’t know how to let a love like theirs go to waste. Please help me…

With much confusion and desperation,

Friar Laurence

Dear Friar Laurence,

The first thing you have to do is stay calm; you don’t need to do anything irrational that can cause problems to yourselves and others. You need to make some plans to not have the wedding between Paris and Juliet to occur, but you have to measure the consequences of what you are doing, you can’t just decide to anything too crazy. If We where you, We would try to get Romeo and Juliet alone, so they can talk out what they want to do, if they want to run away or face their parents and expose their love. You need to get them, and help them devise a plan, but in the end it’s all on them, so you need to let them talk about it. You can’t just talk about a plan with one and expect the other to find out, it will be too complicated and confusing and many things can go wrong. In this plan that you have to be very précised there are no room for mistakes, or else many bad things can happen. So right now you can’t do anything so relax, breathe, and start thinking of a plan, but remember to plan out every single detail, and explain it to Romeo and Juliet at the same time. Once that’s done, you really can’t do anything, you have to let them go about their lives. So good luck, best wishes, we have faith in you.

We have much faith in you,
