In Act IV Scene i, lines 9-15 Paris says to Friar Lawrence:
"Now, sir, her father counts it dangerous,
That she do give her sorrow so much sway,
And in his wisdom hastes our marriage
To stop the inundation of her tears,
Which, too much minded by herself alone,
May be put from her by this society.
Now do you know the reason of this haste."
The "hastening" referred to here is the setting of the marriage on Monday night for Thursday morning. They have this conversation on Tuesday.

Lord Capulet is eager for the marriage between Paris and Juliet to be performed quickly because he believes it will help console Juliet after the death of Tybalt and he sees it as an advantageous match for Juliet. Additionally, he is also concerned about Juliet's well-being and wants to secure her future through this marriage.
