Capulet promised Paris that he could marry Juliet without consulting her first. When she is told about the marriage, she refuses (she is already married to Romeo, but she doesn't tell them that). Capulet is furious because for no apparent reason she is turning the aristocratic Paris down as a potential husband and putting Capulet in the humiliating position of going to Paris and admitting that he made a promise he cannot keep. Basically his pride is hurt. And the worst of it is that he brought it on himself by not consulting Juliet in the first place. Like most people, he is most angry when he is most in the wrong.
