Capulet never said he didn't want Juliet to marry Romeo. Nobody ever suggested the idea to him. As we hear in Act 1 Scene 5, Capulet has a pretty high opinion of Romeo as it turns out, and he might have reacted positively to the idea.

The large "feud" of Romeo and Juliet is each of the families. The Montagues and Capulets never get along and are always fighting. Romeo and Juliet want to get married but they have to have a secretive marriage because it is so outrageous for a Montague to marry a Capulet.
