We the readers are introduced to the fued that the Capulets and Montagues are having when some people from each side meet in the street. They call each other some names and start fighting. The prince shows up and tells them that they are being ridiculous and that if they do it one more time, they will be punished.

Towards the beginning of the act, Juliet, the nurse, and Lady Capulet are talking about how Juliet is getting close to the age when she should be married off. Lord Capulet is having a party that night. Paris, a man who wants to get married to Juliet, is going to be there. Juliet promised the nurse and her mother Lady Capulet that she would check him out at the party and see if she would like to get married to him.

Meanwhile, Romeo is out with his buddies. He is upset because the girl he likes is going to be a nun. So, yeah, their relationship wouldn't work out. His friends Benvolio and Mercutio are trying to cheer him up. They hear about this party that the Capulets are having. Romeo's friends want him to get over this girl and think maybe if he sees all the attractive women at the party he will forget all about her. Since they are mortal enemies with the Capulets, they are not invited. But who cares about that? They crash the party in disguise.

At this party, Romeo and Juliet catch eyes across the room and start to talk. They get pretty friendly.

They still don't know each other's first name, let alone last names. Because of this, they do not know that they are making out with someone that their parents hate. Unbeknowst to them, Juliet's cousin Tibult has spotted Romeo. Tibult is a bit hot-headed and wants to start a fight. However, his uncle Capulet won't let him.
