What is an example of a pun in romeo and Juliet act two?

Juliet: Do you love me?

Romeo: I love you as much as any man can love a woman.

Juliet: Then you shall not die before the feast is over, for, if it be my wedding day, it shall also be yours.

The pun in this passage is "wedding day". Juliet is talking about her wedding day to Paris, but Romeo interprets it as their wedding day.
