This scene is important because this is the actual act of their rebellion. They have officially married without either famillies knowing, and for the most obvious reason, their famillies are enemies. Also this scene shows you haste in their love, they are now married with only a few hours of knowing each other, making it seem almost like they are marrying out of lust rather than love. Again, this scene has an effect on all scenes yet to come, making it an important part to the play. As well as showing the theme of haste.
