There’s always someone who is willing to put themselves out there and try to make a perfect match between people in their circle of friends, and sometimes by matching their friends with complete strangers. It’s a practice that goes back to the beginning of civilization and probably goes back even further than that. That’s why someone has gone ahead and created a holiday to celebrate these matchmakers. This holiday is known as National Matchmaker Day and it falls on the 31st of August every year so those matchmakers can mark it on their calendars and begin planning on who they’re going to set up with whom.
