What are Lady Capulet's feelings on the arranged marriage for Paris and Juliet? act 3 scene 5

Lady capulet's feeings about the arranged marriage for Juliet to Paris is definitely like her husband's.  Not only does she think that it is a good idea but she sounds excited about it. In Line 105, she calls it 'joyful tidings'. In Lines 108-111, she sounds proud of her husband for arranging the marriage and call it  again 'a day of joy':



Well. thou has a careful father, child;


One who to put thee from thy heaviness


Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy




That thou expect not nor I looked for.



She proceeds, in lines114-116, to sing the praises of Paris totally oblivious to Juliet's misery:



The gallant, young, and noble gentleman,


The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church,


Shall happily make thee a joyful bride.
