Juliet doesn't put up much of an argument for delaying her marriage to Paris, because what she wants is never to marry Paris. What she says (in Act III Scene 5) is "I wonder at this haste, that I must wed ere he that should be husband comes to woo. I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam, I will not marry yet, and when I do, I swear it shall be Romeo (whom you know I hate) rather than Paris." What this means is not "Later" but "Never"
