Does Anybody Play The Minecraft Server Hypixel?

So… I play a Minecraft server called Hypixel. Don't know how many people on here have heard of it or play it, but I'm taking my chances. I just wanted to make some new friends to play with on the server. If you have a Discord and often play on Hypixel - then awesome. My Discord user is Rizzy#1254 - so just friend me and we can chat or text and move on from there.

I'm 18, by the way and would prefer to play with those around my age.

This will sound stupid?

So my girlfriend has been playing "Minecraft" a video game i'm sure your familiar with and I'm in a weird situation that I don't know how to take. So basically she plays a lot on this multiplayer server where other players are online at the same time and she is friends with them. She has a pretty high role on there and has a lot of ingame currency as do the other top players on the server which are all friends. There's a marriage feature in the game where you can marry another player and basically all the top players were in couples expect for her and this other guy, which she claims is a woman but other things say its a man, its all very weird. Basically when your married in the server you get a heart emoji next to your name and thats what she wanted apparently, not because she is marrying this guy in a video game. So she requested to marry him and he excepted and then she got her heart. How am I suppost to react to this?

How do i play minecraft with my friend over the internet?

I downloaded a cracked version of minecraft and used craft bukkit to start a server and post forwarded my port but he stil can't connect to the server it says "io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$Annota… Connection refused: no further information" error on Minecraft" on my friends pc. Not sure if i messed something up in the post forwarding part.
