Are there any memorable quotes in the Torah about matchmaking?

Somebody has to arrange the matches


Young people can't decide these things themselves





I'll bring a veil


You bring the groom


Slender and pale


Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be


the envy of all I see








Find me a find


Catch me a catch


Night after night in the dark I'm alone


So find me a match


Of my own

Are there any memorable quotes in the Torah about matchmaking?
In the Torah itself? I don't think so. There's a whole scene in Genesis 24 about how Rebbeca was set up with Isaac, but it doesn't have much to say on the matchmaking process itself.





Now, if you were looking in the Talmud, and other Rabbanic commentary, you'd find a lot of memorable quotes. Do you need something biblical biblical, or just something Jewish?
Reply:Genesis 24:67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
