The Friar's notion that their marriage might end the feud was a good one, but only if all three of them promptly told their parents. A secret marriage was not going to end the feud. They would probably wait until the marriage was consummated to put it beyond annulment. Had Friar Lawrence showed up on Tuesday and announced to Capulet, along with Juliet, that she was Romeo's wife and would have to travel to Mantua to be with him, Capulet would have raged but that would have been the only chance to end the feud and still keep Romeo and Juliet alive and together.
The facts of Tybalt's death and Romeo's banishment may have made it impossible for Friar Lawrence to try to end the feud by disclosing the marriage. If that was so, he should have prevented the marriage from being consummated.
Throughout the play, we find that Friar Lawrence is weak and unable to stand up and face the music at every point where it might possibly help. Therefore his idea to end the feud by marrying Romeo and Juliet, because it depends on his being able to tell this unpleasant truth to the parents, was unwise.
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 Lawrence. Their wedding did not comply with the more modern laws pertaining to the technical requirements of weddings. Basically, they didn't need a witness back then, apart from God and the priest.
She threatens to kill herself, so the Friar says that he can give her a knockout potion which will make her seem dead for a couple of days, and then she can come back to life (and get together with Romeo)
They both know that she is married to Romeo; Paris does not.
First, Romeo instructs the nurse to tell Juliet to make some excuse to go to confession that afternoon with Friar Lawrence. Instead of saying confession, however, she will marry Romeo instead. Second, he instructs the nurse to wait behind the abbey wall while they are married and then to take a rope ladder from Romeo's servant that Romeo will use to sneak into Juliet's room that night so he can consummate the marriage.
