The meeting of the couple would have never taken place if the servant had not come around town to look for people that were invited to the party that the Capulets were hosting. The illiterate servant walked around town and happened to bump into Benvolio and Romeo, and in gratitude, he invites them into the Capulet’s party. Through fate, Romeo and Juliet meet, and then the entire story falls out form then. For the nurse, it was through her free-will to agree and witness of the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Her decisions is also contributes to Romeo and Juliet’s fate. And not only that, Tybalt’s decision to fight Romeo, also contributed to the fate of both himself and Romeo. He caused himself to die, and Romeo gets exiled for avenging his best friend Mercutio. Basically because of actions caused by free will, all ends up manipulating the fate of the Rome and Juliet.
