Capulet tells Paris in the beginning that she is still just a child, but if that he can win her heart, that is his doing. He doesn't deny or condone the marriage in the beginning.

And romeo and benvolio learn about the party because a servant of the capulet house runs into them and asks romeo to read the invitation names(since the servant cannot read and capulet has asked him to go invite those on the list).

There is only one correct answer

read the play yourself. Do your own work. Make your own discoveries.

You will never discover the beauty of Shakespeare - and especially this play - through someone else's eyes.

I believe that the Capulets are pleased with Paris' proposal.

Romeo and Benvolio find out through a Capulet messanger who's inviting people and they decide to crash it.

Juliet dosen't want to mary Paris. But her parents want her to.
They come to the Capulet's ball. (I can't remember the first part.)

Capulet responds by basically saying: I think my daughter is too young. We'll see in two years, possibly she will have changed her mind. Then he goes on to tell Paris that he can try to woo her at his party, and if she wants to get married, she will have his blessing.

They learn about the Capulet's ball when the servant of Capulet, Peter, finds them and tells them that he cannot read the invitation. They read it, and once they read over the names, they DECIDE TO GO because Rosaline, Romeo's love interest, is attending.
