The only marriage proposal Capulet discusses is Paris's proposal to marry Juliet. He is reluctant about it only in Act 1 Scene 2, and that because he thinks (at the time) that Juliet is too young. But all this will change by Act 3, at which time he will practically beg Paris to marry her as soon as possible.

In scene iv what does Capulet tell Paris?

In Act 3 Scene 4, Lord Capulet discusses Juliet's marriage with Paris, along with Lady Capulet. Lord Capulet relays his concerns of Juliet staying cooped up in her room, grieving the loss of her cousin, Tybalt, who has been slain in battle against Romeo. Lord Capulet decides to confirm their marriage to each other (Juliet and Paris) to help her take her mind off the death of Tybalt. He suggests Wednesday, but changes his mind to Thursday as he feels Wednesday would be too soon (it is currently Monday). Lord Capulet decides for the marriage to be a simple one among a small group of audience. (note how Lord Capulet arranges everything for Juliet and does not take into consideration her opinion on the matter. He also confident Juliet will agree to the marriage, showing how he knows very little about the daughter whom he supposedly treasures, as he is unaware of her marriage with Romeo, and the fact they even consummated while holding this conversation) Paris wishes the following day were Thursday to express his excitement for his marriage before bidding the Lord and Lady farewell.
