Hades bride was Persephone. She was kidnapped by him. Her mother Demeter ( Ceres ) stopped all growth of plants on Earth. Demeter wanted her daughter back. Zeus then sent Hermes ( Mercury ) to receive her. She got to the surface of Earth, but heard the laughter of the underworld gardener. She had eaten the seeds of a pomegranate, the food of the dead and had to stay in the underworld for 6 months each year. When she was on Earth plants grew ( Spring and Summer ). When Persephone wasn't on Earth plants scarcely grew ( Fall and Winter ). P.S. I'm only 11, so if you find mistakes please write a better answer. Thanks!
the thing hades is most known for is when he kidnapped Demeter's daughter Persephone, the goddess of flowers and made her his bride
Hades' Weaknesses: Passionate over Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, whom Zeus promised to Hades as his bride. (Unfortunately, Zeus apparently neglected to mention it to either Demeter or Persephone.) Impulsive, favoring sudden, decisive actions. Can also be deceptive.( http://gogreece.about.com/cs/mythology/a/mythhades.htm )
Hades is Persephone's husband. Persephone was promised to Hades as his bride, by her father Zeus. But Zeus neglected to inform both Persephone and her mother Demeter of this arrangement. It was Greek tradition for the husband to claim his new bride and carry her away to live at his home.. so this is exactly what Hades did. He burst forth from the Underworld to claim Persephone; but to Persephone she had no idea what was happening and it turned into an abduction. She was horribly upset for quite some time, but I do believe she warmed up to him after a while and has come to love him as her husband.
Hades asked his brother Zeus if he could have Persephone for his bride, to this Zeus agreed without consulting Demeter or Persephone - Hades than took her, and Demeter showed her wrath until she got her daughter back, except Persephone had eaten of the pomegranate and had to return to Hades for half the year, this causes Demeter to make the land cold and barren (i.e. winter). Persephone return brings about spring.
Hades didn't force Persephone to marry him. Zeus (Persephone's Father) promised her hand in marriage to Hades, but he neglected to inform both Persephone and Demeter (Persephone's Mother) of this. Hades came to claim his bride, which turned into an abduction because Persephone didn't know about it. She was very mad and upset at him for a very long time, but I do believe that she eventually warmed up to him (since due to the eating of pomegranate seeds she spends half of the year with him), and I think she did marry him of her own accord.

Zeus promised his daughter Persephone to Hades, so Hades could take her as his wife. However Zeus neglected to inform Demeter; Persephone's mother, or Persephone herself of this. So when Hades appeared to claim his bride, it was an act of kidnapping, instead of simply retrieving her.
Persephone was promised to Hades as his bride by Zeus, Persephone's father. He did this without informing Demeter or Persephone. Hades arose from the Underworld to claim is bride, thus abducting her and taking her back to the Underworld. While she was there she ate pomegranate seeds which binds her to the Underworld for half of the year, and allows her to return to the surface and Olympus for the rest of the year.
Demeter is obviously worried and scared for her daughter, and wrathful in mourning and sorrow when she found Zeus had let Hades take for bride their daughter Persephone without her knowledge and consent.

At first she was. She was very upset, scared, and miserable. But I do believe she has come to love her husband once she got over the initial 'being kidnapped' thing. Hades did not kidnap her for the sake of being creepy and scary. Zeus, Persephone's father, promised her hand in marriage to Hades. But Zeus neglected to tell Persephone or her mother Demeter about this. So when Hades came to claim his bride it turned into an abduction.

Zeus promised Hades that he could be Persephone's husband. However, Demeter (her mom) and Peresphone were unaware of this. Thus, Hades captured Peresphone and made her his bride. They made an agreement that only half a year, Demeter would be able to see Peresphone.
