Firstly, Capulet does not consult anyone about this decision. The time is "near night", which in July means sometime around nine p.m. He doesn't know whether Paris will be available. He doesn't know whether Friar Lawrence will be available. He can be sure that everyone on the guest list is making themselves ready for Thursday morning. There will be no music and no food, which won't matter much, since there won't be any guests anyway.
All of the servants are "all forth" inviting guests and arranging cooks for Thursday. Capulet himself is going to trot over to Paris's place to tell him the news. Who knows how he expected Friar Lawrence to know about it.
This gets 0 out of 10 for wedding planning. It is astonishing that we see no protests about this lunacy except Lady Capulet's mild and irrelevant "We shall be short in our provision."
The complications for Juliet and Friar Lawrence are even worse. The 42-hour potion was to have been drunk Wednesday night, which would mean that Juliet would wake up Friday afternoon. Presumably the letter sent by Friar John says "Romeo, get here Friday afternoon". If the wedding takes place Wednesday, however, taking the potion Wednesday night will do no good. If she takes it 24 hours before she is expected to, that means she will wake up Thursday afternoon, 24 hours too soon. The letter to Friar John is worthless.
Do we see Friar Lawrence trying to send a panic-stricken message to Romeo? No, he is relying on Friar John, which is plain ridiculous. Do we see Juliet ponder the fact that because of the wedding date change she will surely be stuck in the crypt possibly for an entire day? Does she do something to resist the proposed change? Incredibly not. Just before taking the potion she wonders, "How if, when I am laid in the tomb, I wake before the time when Romeo come to redeem me"? Had she not thought of the certainty that this will happen at any earlier time? Incredibly not.
The wedding day change adds nothing but incredible plot holes. In movie versions it is universally cut. In stage presentations it is glossed over.

Also in a deeper sense we are given a clue that in this play nothing will be what it seems to be. People will look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it. The apparent murderers (the grooms) will actually be victims. Woods will move, and men not born of women will appear, which seems impossible.

Does Noah's Ark represent a foreshadowing of Mary?
Even if Noah's Ark really existed and there really was a Flood, it is hard to imagine a connection between the Ark and Mary, mother of Jesus. Nevertheless, in the words of Burton L. Mack ('Who Wrote the New Testament'), there is a trick that seems to come naturally when studying the Bible: one can ask any question of the Bible and get some kind of answer. If the first answer does not appear to be helpful, one can make a few more assumptions and look for another answer to the same question, until the right answer appears. In this way, Noah's Ark can be made to foreshadow Mary or any other later person.
