O.k, the matchmaker comes about when you are 7. So you can get married by connecting with someone who is 5-6. (maybe 4 but don't think so) It does help if you connect a lot during your teenagers life so they can have 4smiley faces. Then when you an adult you only have to connect a few times and then the next day you should conect and they should get married. BUT when your a grandma or grandpa and your getting married then all you have to do is connect once. (unless they aren't good friends)
