Match made in heaven

A “match made in heaven” refers to two people or things that are perfectly suited to each other. In the 1970s, fish farmers in southern U.S. states were dealing with excessive algae in the ponds they used to cultivate fish, so they brought in a species of carp from China that ate a lot of algae. The fish farmers thought it was a “match made in heaven,” or the fish farmers thought the carp were the perfect solution to the algae problem. Everyone at the wedding thought the couple was a “match made in heaven.” The team’s new wide receiver and the veteran quarterback have proved to be a “match made in heaven” on the football field.
