Hades did actually get married. The story goes like this:
Persephone, daughter of Demeter and Zeus, was playing in the fields while her mother was tending to the earth. Hades saw her and thought her the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He came up from a hole in the earth and swept Persephone back to the Underworld. Persephone was lonely and took to wandering the gardens.
Meanwhile, Demeter had gone on a crazy search for her daughter. When she couldn't find Persephone, Demeter went to Zeus, begging he help her find their daughter. Zeus was able to find Persephone and allowed her to come back to her mother as long as she hadn't eaten the fruit of the Underworld.
Unfortunately, Persephone managed to eat seven pomegranate seeds. She had been terribly hungry and said it had onlybeen a few seeds. But Hades- desperate to keep his beloved- replied that the seeds were enough to matter.
Hades and Demeter made a deal. Persephone had to stay in the Underworld for half the year and could go back to her mother for the other half as long as Persephone married Hades. Demeter and Persephone agreed.
And that's how Hades was married.
Yes, Hades the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, is the King of the Underworld, which is called 'realm of Hades' or (incorrectly)'Hades' after his name.
Hades' weapon was a two- pronged fork. He used it to shatter and break things he didn't like. He also used the fork to break or shatter things that were in his way. Another one of his weapons was said to be a helmet of invisibility. This was given to him by the Cyclops. The Cyclops gave the helm to him so that Hades could help end the war that was going on between the Titans and the Olympians. The helm allows the wearer to not be seen, heard or felt.

How is Hades related to Cerberus?
Hades is the god of the Underworld in Greek Mythology. Cerberus was the three-headed dog that guarded the Underworld. They are related by both living in the Underworld. From Atlantis01: actually...hades is a place not a god, Hades is the underworld not the god that rules it. so hades is guarded by Cerberus.
From gmully123: actually....yes he is a god. Hades was Zeus and Poseidon's brother and when they defeated the Titans and took over the universe, Hates respectfully became the god of the underworld. While Zeus and Poseidon took the upper world.
Hades, being a god, could appear in what form and shape he chose, his height changed as well.
Here's a well known myth about Hades:
Hades was the God of the dead, and lived in the underworld. Because of this, he was feared, and getting a wife was a difficult task to do. After all, who would want to live in a world where there was no sun, and not a living soul to be seen? Hades became incredibly lonely, and began becoming desperate for companionship.
Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and helped her mother flourish the Earth for men all year round. It was by chance that Hades saw Persephone and fell in love with her instantly. To ensure that the marriage would not be argued with, Hades asked Zeus (the king of the gods) to have Persephone as his wife. Zeus, fearing wrath from either side, merely winked at Hades. Hades reasoned that because Zeus never said he couldn't, decided it was alright to take Persephone down to his home, and one day, when Demeter wasn't watching, Hades ripped the ground open and took her down.
A few hours later, Demeter was looking for Persephone frantically; it wasn't like her child to run away. She asked every god and goddess there was, but none of them had seen what had happened.
Meanwhile, Persephone was terrified, the only living soul was Hades, a scary man who had taken her away from sunlight, and the poor child felt so lonely. She walked all through the underworld, avoiding Hades, and eventually, finding a garden. There was a gardener there, spirit yes, but kind and caring. He offered Persephone twelve pomegranate seeds, after all, the poor girl must be hungry, and she was. So not to seem rude, Persephone only took half of the seeds, and ate them hungrily, wondering when her mother would come for her.
After talking to Apollo, the sun god, Demeter realized what happened, and went to Zeus, demanding the realise of the child, who was, after all, Zeus' own flesh and blood. The problem was that Hades was also Zeus' older brother, and because of this, refused to interfere. Demeter became distraught, and neglected the earth, to busy morning for Persephone.
Eventually, Mankind faced extinction, and Zeus ordered Hades to release Persephone. Hades shrugged and smiled, saying that Persephone had already eaten food form the dead, and therefor, must stay with the dead. Zeus ruled that because Persephone only ate half the seeds offered, she must only stay with Hades for half a year, the other half she could do as she pleased.
From then on, fall and winter was when Persephone left, and Demeter mourns for her. In the spring and summer, she is reunited with her mother, and the Earth prospers.
