In context of the show, we're supposed to see it as fated love - they were always meant to be together.
That being said, in a modern context, if a couple of teenagers saw each other at a party, announced that they were in love, and snuck off in secret to get married the next day, we would probably call them immature and a little rash. In fact, Romeo is totally rebounding - he just got dumped by another woman as the play starts. His friends even give him a hard time about the fact that he is always in love with somebody.
Juliet, for her part, is all of thirteen and is ready to marry and hop in the sack with the first guy she sees who isn't a relative.
I mean, come on, that's just messed up in a 2007 context.
Of course, in Elizabethan England, it was all good.

Adolescent and self-indulgent. Both were posers, more in love with the idea of being in love than with each other.
