In the not-so-distant past, matchmaking in the Caribbean was a lively community affair. Granny at the corner shop was practically the CEO of romantic connections, Auntie Sue was the head of the vetting committee, and Uncle Roy was quick to give the side-eye to anyone who didn’t seem worthy.

Apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Caribbean Cupid are becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger generations.
