At first Lord Capulet was saying how he didn't care who juliet married as long as she was happy and liked him. Only a few days after saying that he turned around and told Paris that he would make Juliet marry him no matter what she said.

Friar Lawrence knew that if he wedded them it would come with big consequences such as getting them hurt, they would have to get separated, and they didn't really know each other to well. All Friar Lawrence. thought about was the chance of him getting publicly thanked for ending the feud. He thought that if he wedded them there would be no choice other than to end the feud.

But fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next / To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church/ Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither” (III.v.144-145, 153-155). Because Lord Capulet had changed his mind about the marriage, he forced Juliet into a situation that was hard to get out of. As a result, Juliet was so repulsed by the idea of marrying Paris since she had had the chance to fall in love with Romeo. The only way to avoid the marriage was for Juliet to drink the potion, causing Romeo to think Juliet was dead, and ultimately resulting in the death of both Romeo and Juliet. Therefore, Lord Capulet should have either said that Juliet would have to

The first explanation why Friar Lawrence took a huge portion of the blame is because he irrationally married these two naive, inexperienced young couples. As their parents would condemn their relationship, they were in need of an adult’s advice, which led them to turn to Friar Lawrence.

Clearly, he was in the determination of ending the family feuds and carelessly acted on the behalf of that.

This reason is that Lord Capulet's family has problems with Romeo's Family. If they never had problems then Juliet and Romeo would never killed there selves. I think they would have not committed suicide because Juliet could have simply told her father that she is in love with Romeo.
