Romeo was so in love with Rosaline, but she would not have him. He was hurt and depressed for a moment, but when he met Juliet he forgot about Rosaline all too quickly.

How does Paris expalin the sudden haste of the marriage plans in Romeo and Juliet?

Paris doesn't explain his sped up marriage. Lord Capulet does when he is talking to Paris in Act III, Scene 4. Capulet says Juliet will marry Paris to pull her out of the depressed mourning for Tybalt. He says it will bring more joy and happiness to their family instead of grief. Paris is happy with this arrangement because it means he'll be able to marry Juliet sooner than before.


Why is Friar Lawrence surprised by Romeo's decision to marry Juliet?

Romeo shows up at the friar's doorstep in the early morning. He has not slept all night. He's been with a girl. The last girl the friar heard about Romeo liking was Rosaline, only the day before. All of a sudden, Romeo's talking about this Juliet--and he wants to marry her? I guess the friar's surprised.
