How did Hades get Cerberus?

Cerberus was born from an egg. He was one of the offspring of Echidna (part woman, part serpent) and Typhon (a giant who was serpent to the hips with a human upper body, some depict the head as human, some as dragon). When Cerberus was still a pup, Hades called on him and his mother offering a gift of gold jewelery. Echidna stated that she would accept the gift if it were a gift for Cerberus's birth, but not if it was a payment to take the pup. Hades left the gift anyway as a show of what serving him could bring.

One day Cerberus entered into a fight with a shark. When he came face to face with the shark, he saw it had a boat with a frightened girl in it. Cerberus killed the shark and pulled the boat away saving the girl who's name was Delia. Delia accepted Cerberus as a friend despite his frightful looks. One day when they were out together while Delia healed animals, a female approached persuading Cerberus to go see his mother. While Cerberus was gone, Delia was killed by Argus, a monster sent by Hades. Hades had constructed the whole elaborate scheme.

Cerberus was pained by the death of Delia, and struck a deal to serve Hades for a thousand years as a guard, allowing no soul to escape and no living human to enter the underworld. Delia's spirit would be given in return after his thousand years of service.

Did Hades ever get married?

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.
