Matchmakers
These are another two friends of mine who just got married. Although I couldn't find one special picture that jumped out at me, there's a common thread with all of the pictures. The joy that the bride and groom are feeling is so palpable, all you have to do is reach out and you'll touch it.
The more of these weddings I see, where I know both the bride and groom help to reinforce one idea.
I will never in my lifetime be able to successfully set 2 people up- at least not intentionally. There is obviously no consistent formula in putting two people together. If you can understand how one + one = three (or as Rabbi Jacobson puts it 1 + 1 = 1) then you may have an understanding of how to put soul mates together (you may also be a little over the edge).
Maybe all it takes is boy + girl + right time + right place = Mazal Tov!
Meaning, any guy, meets any girl, at the appropriate place and at a time when they're desperate enough to compromise on those little things, they get hitched.
Maybe...

u know i sometimes think that you can realy end up marrying ANYBODY. There really doesn't seem to be any logic in it.. Whoever u marry, you end up making certain compromises and it all really depends on how many compromises you think you are capable of. And like you said that is simply a matter of when and where and what point in your life that you end up meeting. Disconcerting, isn't it?

Very much so.
Yet, I do say maybe... because the fact of the matter is when it comes down to it, I do believe that G-d makes the matches.
It's when the faith begins to waiver that it becomes disconcerting.
