Although Friar Lawrence might have been acting from the best of motives, and had been hoping that he could bring the Montagues and Capulets together by performing the marriage ceremony between Romeo and Juliet, ultimately he failed in that aim because both of the young lovers died.
There are a number of reasons why Friar Laurence is to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet. These include:
Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence are in Friar Lawrence's cell.
Romeo goes to friar Lawrence about marrying Juliet
The Nurse and Friar Lawrence knew about it before anyone else because the Friar performed the marriage and the Nurse was Juliet's close confidant so she told her everything.

Romeo and Juliet's deaths were a result of their tragic love story and the feud between their families, the Montagues and Capulets. The Nurse was Juliet's trusted confidante who inadvertently contributed to their secret marriage, while Friar Lawrence played a role in their downfall by performing their secret wedding and giving Juliet the potion that led to their misunderstandings and eventual deaths.
He wants Friar's help to marry Juliet and himself.

In act 5 of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence did not consider that his plan to fake Juliet's death with a potion might not reach Romeo in time or that miscommunications could lead to tragedy. Additionally, he did not anticipate the unforeseen events that ultimately led to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
It was both Romeo's and Juliet's idea to marry eachother.
