In what scene does Romeo and Juliet get married?
St. Peter's Church. In Verona, Italy. Romeo and Juliet are married by Friar Lawrence. The marriage is carried out in secret, so it is almost certainly at his cell (mentioned several times in the play). The marriage happens off-stage (though some modern productions have them kneel before Friar Lawrence at the end of 2.6). Friar Lawrence' 'cell' is probably a small room he has at a monastery - which would be just outside the town of Verona itself. But it would be possible to imagine Friar Lawrence as an anchorite (a monk living alone) in which case the cell would be a small house (or cave) again just outside the city. Although Friar Lawrence is a Friar, he is also a priest, the priest to which all of the characters in the play regularly go to for confession. Capulet says that Juliet is to be married at St. Peter's Church, and has clearly arranged for Friar Lawrence and no other priest to perform the ceremony. Therefore it is reasonable to conclude that the monastery is attached to St. Peter's.
