The Actions of Friar Laurence and Nurse, The right decision?

In Act II Scene III Friar Laurence makes the decision to wed Romeo and Juliet, but this wedding wasn't any regular wedding, it was a secretive wedding. It wasn't just Friar Laurence that helped in the wedding Juliet's nurse also took part in the wedding. I personally don't blame either Friar Laurence or the Nurse. It really wasn't Nurse's or the Friar's decision, they couldn't change the fact that Romeo and Juliet truly loved each other. If the Friar and the Nurse didn't allow the two to get married, Romeo and Juliet would probably find someone else to wed them. So in my opinion, Friar Laurence and the Nurse really didn't do anything wrong.
