As a romance author, I feel like this should be our official day since every time we write a book we’re matching up two people so they can find their happily-ever-after! So here’s to romance authors everywhere! But I bet you didn’t know these fun facts about matchmakers:
- 1. According to Bustle, many cultures arranged matches because they felt young people were unable to make such a complicated decision.
2. A matchmaker figured prominently in the motion picture Fiddler on the Roof.
3. ArtCarved Bridal dreamed this day up to honor those who brought two people together for their happily ever after.
4. In India, matchmaking is a multi-million dollar business and the top matchmaking companies account for millions of marriages!
But despite all those matchmaking facts, I still think that romance authors are the world’s best matchmakers!
