It's difficult to be precise with this. They meet at a party, and it's a dinner party (an "accustomed feast"), but it would seem that Romeo and his buddies don't crash it until after dinner. We know that Romeo is to meet the nurse at nine the next morning, and sets the time for the wedding in the afternoon. If we guess that they met at about 8 p.m. and the wedding was at 3 p.m. that would be a lapse of about 19 hours.

Who said this Go ask his name- if he be married your grave is like your wedding bed in romeo and Juliet?

It helps if you quote all of the words Juliet says. "If he be married, my grave is like to be my marriage bed." In other words, if he is already married, I will die before I am married myself. Why? Because Juliet remembers, even if some of the other characters in the play do not, that according to the Catholic religion, people are only allowed to be married to one person at a time. Juliet has met Romeo, flirted with him, and kissed him, but she does not know who he is. So she sends the Nurse to find out ("Go ask his name.") She would like to marry him and so hopes that he does not have a wife already, because as far as she is concerned, he is the only guy for her.
