What is the whole purpose of Shakespeare adding act 2 scenes four through six in Romeo and Juliet and what are the conflicts in each of the scenes?

If those scenes were left out, and we jumped straight from Act 2 Scene 3 to Act 3 Scene 1, we would not be sure whether or not Romeo and Juliet are actually married. The fact that they are, which is underlined by these three scenes, makes sense of the tension Romeo experiences in 3,1 and the conflict Juliet feels in 3,2. Act 2 Scene 4 also tells us that Tybalt is out there somewhere gunning for Romeo, as he told us he would do in 1,5, in the discussion between Mercutio and Benvolio. Mercutio in this scene wants to make fun of the Nurse which sets up a sort of lighthearted conflict between them. The Nurse is annoyed, but not hurt in any way. In the next scene there is further lighthearted banter, this time between the Nurse and Juliet. The Nurse's teasing causes some conflict with Juliet but not much. Act 2 Scene 6, which is the scene of Romeo, Juliet and the Friar preparing for the wedding, has no conflict in it whatsoever. Everyone is set on completing the marriage.
