Romeo refers to the Friar as his "ghostly sire" (2.2.188), so it appears that the Friar is Romeo's confessor. Also, when they speak, the Friar chides him about his yearning for Rosaline, so apparently the Friar is someone to whom the Friar has turned to for advice about love.
He knows Romeo and Juliet because he is the priest of their church and he is the one who gets them married.
Romeo sneeks into the Capulet's party at the Capulet home, to find that Juliet was there, but then he asks w
"For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households' rancour to pure love."
Yes. He was the one who marries them.
Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence are in Friar Lawrence's cell.
Friar Lawrence is sure that Romeo was at Juliets all night.
It was both Romeo's and Juliet's idea to marry eachother.
Friar Laurence performs the marriage. Hope this helps! :)

Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet in his cell.
Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence are in Friar Lawrence's cell.
The name of Romeo's spiritual advisor is Friar Lawrence.
The plan is that his brother Friar, Friar John, will take a letter to Romeo. But Friar John is prevented from giving him the message.

Friar Lawrence entrusts Friar John with the important letter to Romeo, instructing him to deliver it to Romeo in Mantua. However, Friar John is unable to get the letter to Romeo in time due to being quarantined.
Friar Lawrence sent the note to Romeo on the same day of Juliet's supposed death.
Friar Lawrence sends a letter to Romeo, who is in Mantua, detailing his plan to fake the death of Juliet, and have Romeo bring her to Mantua where they can both live happily ever after. He gives the letter to Friar John, who is supposed to bring the letter to Romeo ASAP. Friar John never makes it to Romeo, because he was quarantined due to an outbreak of the Plague. Therefore, he brought the letter back to Friar Lawrence. This messed up Friar Lawrence' plan, as he had already set it in motion.
Friar Laurence performs the marriage. Hope this helps! :)
