This was amazingly educational, thank you!

She says if his intent is marriage - if all of his love-pleading is an honourable dand morally upright one, seeking a moral and licit outcome, rather than to just exploit her - then tell her where to meet him.

Interesting, because to me, a marriage proposal is indicating that you're interested in marrying and asking the other person if they are too, and that seems to be what Juliet is communicating. What nuance am I missing here?

Also, are there any sources you can recommend that would talk about the rituals of marriages and proposals during this period, in some detail?
