In this scene (especially at first), Friar Laurence seems to think that Romeo is making a fool out of himself with regards to love.
He knows that Romeo has felt like he is in love with Rosaline and has spoken to Romeo about being more moderate in his feelings. When he now finds out that Romeo has forgotten about Rosaline and wants to marry Juliet, he feels, perhaps naturally, that Romeo is being a bit hasty and rash.
By the end of the scene, however, Friar Laurence has consented to marry the two, hoping to end the feud between their families.
