As much as it is painful to me, I have to clear out few things:

1.) There is no confimation that Reki hates harem (actually, seeing as he writes the series, I would say he kind of like harem genre). But, yes, TIBOUW is non-canon.

2.) He didn't state that SAO will end with wedding, but he would like to read such scene (though he also added that Kirito and Asuna will achieve their true love at the end on SAO, so it could be a hint)

3.) As I said bafore, Asuna gets jealous once Alice starts to how her affection openly. (Though it shouldn't be taken as something serious, these scenes are mostly for comedy aspect).

What is interesting that in vol 20, there is inner monologue of Asuna, when it shown that Asuna is well aware of the rest of the girls' feelings and she is grateful how much support she receives from them.

4.) And yes, Alice is in love (in a romantic way) with Kirito.

Regarding above, KiriAsu is strong and nothing will ever make them break up nor let a third party to mess (no harem, no triangle etc).
