How do Romeo and Juliet get married?

Romeo and Juliet are married by Friar Lawrence just one short afternoon after meeting.  They wed in secret, with the bulk of the major players in the story -- Benvolio, Mercutio, and Tybalt among them -- completely unaware that the wedding has taken place.  The wedding is primarily arranged by Juliet's Nurse, who serves as a go-between between the couple.

While Romeo and Juliet are among the most famous couples in all of literary history, we don't actually see or hear any wedding vows in the course of the play.  The scene itself (Act 2, Scene 6) is only 37 lines long, as compared with other scenes that run into the hundreds of lines.  What we do hear are warnings from the Friar that moderation is key, and that Romeo and Juliet should not plunge headlong and passionately into their romance, as the results could be explosive.  Unfortunately, Romeo and Juliet do not heed the Friar's warning.
