I remember Alex mentioned his “grief beard” years ago and I guess we now know why. Losing a mom to cancer is rough, I lost mine to it right before the pandemic. It’s been nice seeing them on the vlog again, and knowing ~for sure~ that they are indeed married.
@@TheKubliest wow hi and thank you, Hayley… it was rough, I am an only child with divorced parents and was 22 at the time. I’m not sure I’ve entirely recovered from the experience and I have sort of developed a paperwork phobia as a result.
@@XLegiitBadassX i don't really think one ever fully recovers from that sort of grief. There will always be some level of sadness deep down. At least thats how i feel
My husband and I have watched the vlog forever, and I never comment... but Alex and Hayley's story really touched my heart. My husband and I got engaged in 2016 with plans to have a nice family wedding. However, in 2017 both my maternal grandparents passed away, and my mom (who had been cancer free for years) relapsed with metastasized breast cancer in her brain. We quickly had a wedding in November 2017 in our JOP's office at our local courthouse with just us and my parents. My mom was barely able to get around with a walker at the time, and she passed away in February 2018. We then lost my dad a couple of years later. Alex is completely right... have your wedding in whatever way works for you. I'm also super thankful to have found my perfect partner for all of life's heartbreaks and joys.
Cancer is awful and there’s nothing profound I can say about it. It just sucks. I am so sorry to hear about your losses! What a rough time that must have been. A wedding is just a party. A marriage is so much more. I’m glad you met someone who could get through it with you.
Husband here....hey uh....she's absolutely right. I also 2nd Alex and Hayley as well; find the person you can get through damn near anything with and come out in love, and marry that person. She's a once in a lifetime kind of gal, and Im happy she chose me. :) Love ya, wife! Happy anniversary Alex and Hayley! Im glad we are starting to push through all this pandemic madness....HOPEFULLY!
I said this on the Birmingham Breakfast Stream but I do remember Alex referring to Hayley as "my wife" in a GTAO episode. And when I heard it I thought it was just like how, say, my mother refers to her boyfriend because at a certain point in life maybe for some people it feels weird to refer to your partner as boy/girlfriend if it sounds too "childish". I know some people who think that way so I dunno, that was what I thought and thus I didn't think too much of it when Alex said it. But turns out, it had an actual meaning. Also, I know this was a long time ago so it's probably weird? But I'm sorry for your loss, Alex. Cancer _sucks_ - I lost my father to cancer in late 2018, so as much as people hate to hear it, I know what it feels like. Thank you for sharing the story with us on the vlog. But also I'm a little upset because you made me tear up with that little 'speech'. (Double also: Stephen talking/ending the vlog while you can see Stephen and someone else in GTAO land beating each other to death with golf clubs on the TV in the background was _amazing_ .)
Belated congrats to Alex and Hayley! Your story is beautiful and special in its own way. And if you ever want something with frills, I think a person in your life who owns a million cameras should be forced to give you a wedding photoshoot for your next milestone anniversary. 😉
I definitely assumed COVID delayed any wedding plans, but I am very sorry that Alex lost his mom. I am happy that they are doing life and marriage a way that works for them!
I mean, Alex's proposal was caught on a vlog, so... Yeah, I just sort of assumed that they had been married for a while now. "It--Look, it's this thing! Will you marry me?" "...Sure."
I was more confused when I saw the title of this vlog, because I remember seeing the proposal years ago. I was like, "Wait; they're STILL not married?!" 😂
I mean, I saw it via Hayley's highlights of the decade tweet, but honestly they can do whatever they want and it is none of our business. However, I'm happy that they are happy together and long may it continue. ❤️🎉
Congratulations to Alex and Hayley! I honestly did not piece it together, but I knew they would be each other's forever humans. So happy for the both of you!! Three years ago, my (now) husband and I moved out of his parents' home and into an apartment together. Our neighbor across was (still is) an officiant, and last year, we had him join us together officially! So to add what Hayley said, your neighbor can totally marry people together. XD
I remember the first time I watched the Day 1374 "Pus McJ" and I thought - Alex and Hayley are soulmates... Fast forward nearly 9 years later and we get the official announcement of marriage on the vlog! Congrats Alex and Hayley. I followed Hayley on Twitter as she was trying to stop biting my nails. Following along with her, I also stopped biting my nails. These moments are the cool moments of StephenVlog. Edited for spelling
I didn’t know that Hayley was married to Alex. That revelation surprised me. Congrats on the marriage you guys. Also I’m extremely sorry you lost a parent to cancer Alex. My heart goes out to you and your family.
I wondered, and thought that the wedding you alluded to in the 2018 Stephen & Friends Q&A was theirs. And then in some StephenPlays videos Alex and Hayley specifically called each other husband and wife and thought it was like Chaz and Jeff. I'm happy you told the story and showed us footage! Belated congratulations, Alex and Hayley!
I distinctly remember a vlog, or maybe a stream, where you mention very briefly that Alex and Hayley get married. Probably a couple years ago when you mentioned it. Either way, happy vlog official marriage to those two!
To be honest I had assumed I had just missed the vlog where they got married, as I knew they were engaged and then I remember the GTA Online moment Mal mentions. Belated congratulations (and condolences for the loss of Alex's mum).
It was very much similar for me and my wife, we've made so many plans wanting to do an actual party of some sort for our wedding which was just a court house wedding, but I think we've pretty much said, we aren't married any less without it, so we moved on. Congratulations Alex and Hayley, here's to a long and happy marriage for you two!!
I assumed they were since i think Alex proposing was on the vlog and time passed so I just assumed the wedding wasn't on the vlog because of not wanting everything to be public since not everyone is comfortable with having their life online.
My husband and I got married in 2018 at a courthouse wedding chapel because honestly, a wedding wasn't our thing. So we just randomly planned it, told people "come if you're free" and here we are 4 years later
I did assume they got married since as Mal said Alex referred to Hayley as “my wife” in GTA Online before. Also, i had always wondered what Hayley does. Cool to know!
@@enesevanderwalt5900 that makes sense. I remember hearing tidbits of this from their streams and also Hayley on Twitter. It’s sometimes hard to remember what came from the vlog and what from elsewhere
Congrats on the wedding five years later. I still remember seeing vlog questions in the Q&A videos asking if Stephen and Mal thought it would be weird If people from their respective friend groups dated
I always wondered if someone asked in a Q&A if Alex and Hayley ever got married because it honestly never came up in the vlog. But I guess not, cause now we have actual confirmation! Belated congrats!
17:10 I started to notice what point in the GTAO series that was, and I started to crack up because I know EXACTLY what the audio there is like! I honestly think that's my most watched playlist on the channel. Actually now thinking the next runner up is Mario 3D Land with these 2 people who I thought were married all along.
I feel the pain of losing someone (relatively) unexpectedly, so my heart goes out to Alex and Hayley. My experience was almost twelve years ago right around the time this was being filmed. Of course, there are a lot of differences between our experiences, but what matters is that it's hard, whether you're barely in your preteens having lost a friend or in your late twenties having lost a parent. Man, even though I mark the day every year, I still can't believe it's been twelve years. I can't say it will ever get any easier, but I can say we get stronger and smarter. Grief is never over, at least in this mortal existence, but one learns how to navigate it. On to the happier news, congratulations to Alex and Hayley on getting married. I can appreciate the ADHD aspect to the whole deal. Speaking of which, I need to take my meds. I also appreciate the funny background event of Stephen and Thomas beating the snot out of each other in the background as Stephen ends the vlog.
Well Stephen also replied. "We don't either." And i immediately thought that yes they have, theres vlogs where they kiss but it was also a bunch of years ago lol. Mostly I recall one on a new years day. But I think its the very old vlogs
@@ladelgod7869 I think he means in general since they never really did that much on the vlogs, anyway. Theyve also mentioned they just don't like PDA in general.
I read the title of this vlog and immediately thought, “Well duh?” I guess I always just assumed they got married off-cam anyway. Now that we have actual confirmation, a very belated congratulations to one of my favorite couples! 💖
Before finishing the vlog: I saw this vlog title while at work, during what was a bad week, and I legit thought, "huh. They were engaged a long time. I wonder if they just eloped/registered their marriage. Oh well. They were husband/wife to me anyway for a while." But yay!! Congratulations to Alex and Hayley!!
also when i saw this title i was like "haha that's a silly title, we already knew this, it's gonna be like a zinger joke in the vlog" and when you talked about it i was like OH I GUESS NOT EVERYONE KNEW. i just figured that hayley and alex didn't want their wedding on the vlog, which is understandable!, so i interpreted it as something that happened behind the scenes. and i think it's in that vlog that you mentioned, but i remember stephen saying "yeah hayley and alex aren't with us at the moment because they're busy doing something" and i was like yeah that makes sense, they just got engaged! and now it's oh they just got MARRIED! thank you for sharing more of the story with us, stephen and mal and, especially, of course, alex and hayley. much love to all
so after yesterday's vlog, I wondered if they'd gotten married. I remember their engagement, but then... don't remember hearing anything else. really sorry to hear about your Mom, Alex. Thanks for confirming the marriage happened though :)
Honestly thought this was going to be the vlog with them getting married. lol I'm so behind... But congrats on your marriage you guys either way. I don't remember it being talked about before so I appreciate it being addressed. 👍
Awh, you two are so sweet together - happy for you two!! I assumed you two were married but it's nice hearing you guys talk about getting together, very sweet. Happy belated getting married!
Even though its been a while, congrats to you both!!! You both always made such a great duo and despite all the hardships I'm glad you did what was best at the moment for you both! And my condolences to the loss of your mom, Alex. My mom has been battling breast cancer on and off since I was little and its just an awful cycle to be in but, like you said, if you guys can get through such a traumatic time you can get through anything. I wish you both the absolute best and long happy lives together!
Have you ever considered doing a monthly check in Vlog with Alex and Hayley? It seems they bring out an extra dimension of your personalities when the four of you are together.
It's weird you never told the vlog because I picked up on that fact they were married through most of the Stephen and Friends stuff. Even if I didn't, the two have been living in the same house for forever. Chances are there that, at the very least, they were dating or were forever roommates. The later never really seemed that likely though just because of where Hailey lived. Anyways, I'm sitting here thinking, "This is new? I thought everyone knew this."
I mean we all knew they were togther and lived togther. Their proposal is also on the vlog lol People weren't surprised they were a couple but we didnt know they had officially gotten married. Go back and watch those Pax vlogs from even when they met its very obvious they like each other. And as I reminisced on another comment remember seeing a q&a or a vlog of Stephen and Mal talking about Haley and Alex being a couple and how Stpehen didnt realize how they were into each other at pax until Mal brought it up to him later, even tho you can tell even from just the little we see in the vlog, and he was there in person. I just find that very funny.
Congrats Alex and Hayley!! Also, Jim n Nicks is one of my favorite places to eat. Closest one is an hour away from me (though one is opening soon a little closer!) so every time i get the chance i go. I order like a child and get the grilled cheese and fries, but i swear it’s the best grilled cheese LOL
I agree with Alex. My husband (also an Alex) and I have gone through some chaos together, including suddenly losing my dad, and we've been together nearly ten years now. I figure if we've gone through everything and we're both still happy together, we're solid.
I always assumed they were married but don’t think I had much to go off besides them just being really close. This visit has been super fun to watch! Much love to Alex and Hayley!
Hahahaha so when I saw the frames that you thought were more comfortable they are like *exactly* like my frames, bottom part off and all. They are awesome and I love how they look. Nose pads can be annoying to clean around, but they are nice. Extremely belated congratulations to Alex and Hayley, and after hearing your story I totally understand. That's not easy and through all this it's just like "it happened!" which may be better for the chill vibe that I always see from you two regardless c: And I completely agree with Alex's point of view, whatever makes a couple happiest is how it should be done!
I had always wondered if Alex and Haley just got married and didnt want Stephen to put in on the Vlog or if they were just engaged all this time. Congratulations 5 years later!! I do have to say, the story of the bed and pax even tho we didnt hear more sounds like a fanfiction with being Stephen and Mal's best friends and collage roommates. When i first started to watch older vlogs it hit me that you guys would have met at Stephen and Mal's wedding if Alex had been able to go. I remember watching the pax vlogs and its so obvious something was brewing between you guys even on the vlog and seeing a q&a or vlog later where Stephen said he didnt notice until Mal brought it up to him later on, which is hilarious.
I haven't been a long-time vlog watcher (though I've been visiting some past vlogs here and there), but yeah I think I just assumed Alex and Hayley were married. I forgot how, I think somehow the info of "they're married" was provided to me first (maybe the wiki?), that, or I watched the vlog where Alex proposed to Hayley ("sure") and reasoned "That was 2016. They probably married unless they just remained engaged for 6 years and counting (which is also fine)". Thanks for showing us the day when the wedding happened. Interesting to see it was on the day of poke and karaoke, and I see that California trip was not just "The Cruise Trip with Alex and Hayley", but "The Alex and Hayley are Getting Married, and We're Also Going On the Cruise with Them Trip"
Living in New Orleans, so at the beginning of this vid, I had the vision in my mind of children in a Baptismal font being boiled alive with crawfish and corn and potatoes floating around in it. LUUUUUUL. Baptism Boil. XD
Love you guys! Hope all is well :D That was a really cute ending sharing that wedding video. I had always assumed they married anyway but hey now it's vlog official lollll Anyway I'm glad you guys got to hang out again I can hardly believe the Japan vlogs were so long ago.
17:20 oh no not the golf club battle with Thomas! But in all seriousness, congratulations to Alex and Hayley and their happy marriage! Wasn't there also a scene from the observatory vlog where in the background we see Alex proposing too?
I remember hearing from an art stream or a Twitter or something that was when Alex got his beard as like part of his grieving process and I suppose he liked it and decided to keep it.
Since I didn't start watching until 2020, I assumed Alex and Hayley were married. I find it funny that it wasn't officially mentioned on the vlog until now xD
A lot like the vow renewal for my parents that I was a witness to. I definitely recommend a wedding chapel in Lake Tahoe. They are so cool and pretty. Congrats Alex and Haley! (I do remember watching GTA Online and thinking "Ah, I guess Alex and Haley are living together. Cool!")
The version you took a picture of in the vlog are very close to what my grandfather's glasses were a long time ago. If you got that one, then welp, seals the grandpa deal, lol. With the marriage thing for Alex and Hayley, I figured if they weren't married, they were at least common law which meant they had lived together and been together for a number of years that it's sort of considered marriage without paperwork. Still, late congrats on marriage. :P
Whenever Alex says "so here's the thing" you know it's either going to be some pretty thoughtful life advice, or the dumbest explanation of a thing that doesn't matter. Late congratulations
I remember seeing a comment or two from Hayley about it at some point, but I don't think it's ever been mentioned other than that. Congratulations on five years!
I found out from Hayley herself that she got married. Can't remember if it was during her own stream or as a mod on yours but she said a comment and I was like "MARRIED?!?!" and it became a whole thing at that moment lol
I remember you filming the proposal and also remember going "wait they aren't ALREADY married" so. very belated congratulations to Alex and Hayley!!
I remember Alex mentioned his “grief beard” years ago and I guess we now know why. Losing a mom to cancer is rough, I lost mine to it right before the pandemic. It’s been nice seeing them on the vlog again, and knowing ~for sure~ that they are indeed married.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. I can’t imagine how rough it would be to deal with raw grief on top of the pandemic.
@@TheKubliest wow hi and thank you, Hayley… it was rough, I am an only child with divorced parents and was 22 at the time. I’m not sure I’ve entirely recovered from the experience and I have sort of developed a paperwork phobia as a result.
@@XLegiitBadassX i don't really think one ever fully recovers from that sort of grief. There will always be some level of sadness deep down. At least thats how i feel
"Hayley is a professional"
Me: very literally shes got that certification of how professional she truely is.
"Baby got back, so let's meet on it!"
Still closer than any of Emile's attempts.

@@MajorKerina Wow, I must have missed the ones with them on screen with Stephen and Mal.
I’ve had Warby Parkers for years and I love them! Was so stoked to see you go there! And of course, belated congrats to Alex and Hayley! ❤️
It's weird you never told the vlog because I picked up on that fact they were married through most of the Stephen and Friends stuff. Even if I didn't, the two have been living in the same house for forever. Chances are there that, at the very least, they were dating or were forever roommates. The later never really seemed that likely though just because of where Hailey lived.
Anyways, I'm sitting here thinking, "This is new? I thought everyone knew this."
I mean we all knew they were togther and lived togther. Their proposal is also on the vlog lol People weren't surprised they were a couple but we didnt know they had officially gotten married.
Go back and watch those Pax vlogs from even when they met its very obvious they like each other. And as I reminisced on another comment remember seeing a q&a or a vlog of Stephen and Mal talking about Haley and Alex being a couple and how Stpehen didnt realize how they were into each other at pax until Mal brought it up to him later, even tho you can tell even from just the little we see in the vlog, and he was there in person. I just find that very funny.
6:28 I think this might be the most Stephen thing ever, and I love it. 😂
Congrats Alex and Hayley!!
Also, Jim n Nicks is one of my favorite places to eat. Closest one is an hour away from me (though one is opening soon a little closer!) so every time i get the chance i go. I order like a child and get the grilled cheese and fries, but i swear it’s the best grilled cheese LOL
I agree with Alex. My husband (also an Alex) and I have gone through some chaos together, including suddenly losing my dad, and we've been together nearly ten years now. I figure if we've gone through everything and we're both still happy together, we're solid.
2:26 this is a very educational vlog in regards to alex and haley lmao
Earthbound: Creating Weddings Everywhere
I always assumed they were married but don’t think I had much to go off besides them just being really close. This visit has been super fun to watch! Much love to Alex and Hayley!
Hahahaha so when I saw the frames that you thought were more comfortable they are like *exactly* like my frames, bottom part off and all. They are awesome and I love how they look. Nose pads can be annoying to clean around, but they are nice.
Extremely belated congratulations to Alex and Hayley, and after hearing your story I totally understand. That's not easy and through all this it's just like "it happened!" which may be better for the chill vibe that I always see from you two regardless c:
And I completely agree with Alex's point of view, whatever makes a couple happiest is how it should be done!
I had always wondered if Alex and Haley just got married and didnt want Stephen to put in on the Vlog or if they were just engaged all this time. Congratulations 5 years later!!
I do have to say, the story of the bed and pax even tho we didnt hear more sounds like a fanfiction with being Stephen and Mal's best friends and collage roommates. When i first started to watch older vlogs it hit me that you guys would have met at Stephen and Mal's wedding if Alex had been able to go.
I remember watching the pax vlogs and its so obvious something was brewing between you guys even on the vlog and seeing a q&a or vlog later where Stephen said he didnt notice until Mal brought it up to him later on, which is hilarious.
Happy 5 Year Anniversary Alex and Hayley! You guys are the best!
I haven't been a long-time vlog watcher (though I've been visiting some past vlogs here and there), but yeah I think I just assumed Alex and Hayley were married. I forgot how, I think somehow the info of "they're married" was provided to me first (maybe the wiki?), that, or I watched the vlog where Alex proposed to Hayley ("sure") and reasoned "That was 2016. They probably married unless they just remained engaged for 6 years and counting (which is also fine)".
Thanks for showing us the day when the wedding happened. Interesting to see it was on the day of poke and karaoke, and I see that California trip was not just "The Cruise Trip with Alex and Hayley", but "The Alex and Hayley are Getting Married, and We're Also Going On the Cruise with Them Trip"
awww sweet, and nice mini-speech from Alex
Living in New Orleans, so at the beginning of this vid, I had the vision in my mind of children in a Baptismal font being boiled alive with crawfish and corn and potatoes floating around in it.
LUUUUUUL. Baptism Boil. XD
Love you guys! Hope all is well :D That was a really cute ending sharing that wedding video. I had always assumed they married anyway but hey now it's vlog official lollll
Anyway I'm glad you guys got to hang out again I can hardly believe the Japan vlogs were so long ago.
Alex and Hayley are beloved, just putting that out there.
17:20 oh no not the golf club battle with Thomas! But in all seriousness, congratulations to Alex and Hayley and their happy marriage! Wasn't there also a scene from the observatory vlog where in the background we see Alex proposing too?
I'm really sorry to hear about Alex's mom, my mom passed away in 2020.
I remember hearing from an art stream or a Twitter or something that was when Alex got his beard as like part of his grieving process and I suppose he liked it and decided to keep it.
Happy belated congratulations! To the lovely couple
Congratulations to both Alex and Hayley. Also I can’t wait to see your new glasses Stephen.
Since I didn't start watching until 2020, I assumed Alex and Hayley were married. I find it funny that it wasn't officially mentioned on the vlog until now xD
A lot like the vow renewal for my parents that I was a witness to. I definitely recommend a wedding chapel in Lake Tahoe. They are so cool and pretty. Congrats Alex and Haley! (I do remember watching GTA Online and thinking "Ah, I guess Alex and Haley are living together. Cool!")
the only thing to put a genuine smile on my face today.
I'm teary eyed. I'd just assumed Alex and Hayley were married, since they acted like it anyways. Congrats y'all. ❤
The version you took a picture of in the vlog are very close to what my grandfather's glasses were a long time ago. If you got that one, then welp, seals the grandpa deal, lol.
With the marriage thing for Alex and Hayley, I figured if they weren't married, they were at least common law which meant they had lived together and been together for a number of years that it's sort of considered marriage without paperwork. Still, late congrats on marriage. :P
Whenever Alex says "so here's the thing" you know it's either going to be some pretty thoughtful life advice, or the dumbest explanation of a thing that doesn't matter. Late congratulations
I was the witness for best friends’ wedding. Notary weddings FTW!
"YEA WE DON'T EITHER! HILARIOUS!"
I’m glad y’all have each other for both the shitty moments and the joyful ones. ❤️
Yes! Backup glasses are the best! I have 3 pairs. 2 on rotation, and a backup. It will save you if something happens.
Congratulations guys x
I remember seeing a comment or two from Hayley about it at some point, but I don't think it's ever been mentioned other than that. Congratulations on five years!
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I DIDNT REALIZE THERE WOULD BE A VIDEO AT THE VERY END, IM CRYING
Awwww! Jim n Nick's! I hope you had cheddar biscuits!
13:52 - Mooooooooood, my partner and I aren't officially married but we're 10 years together and going strong, for those reasons too :)
Congratulations
Congrats! I'm pretty sure Haley or Alex has called the other husband/wife at some point, but it's good to have confirmation on the vlog
i saw the thumbnail and was very confused because i was like "wait, is this news??"
I found out from Hayley herself that she got married. Can't remember if it was during her own stream or as a mod on yours but she said a comment and I was like "MARRIED?!?!" and it became a whole thing at that moment lol
Funnily enough, today on my rewatching the journey I saw the video where he proposed to her.
This was awesome
Aww so sweet
Belated congrats!!!!!!!
