Gingerbread Matching
Baylor Towne

Stable matching as told by six gingerbread gnomes looking for love. Their preference lists are ranked from most preferred to least preferred. Nicholas proposes to the first on his list - Noelle. She accepts since she is not paired with anyone. Then Yule also proposes to Noelle who is currently matched with Nicholas. Since Noelle much prefers Yule above Nicholas, she happily accepts Yule’s proposal and Nicholas is kicked out of the pairing. Kris and Ginger are each other’s top choices, so Ginger accepts Kris’s proposal. Now Nicholas can propose to his second choice, Holly, who, although she prefers Yule, will settle with Nicholas since Yule is already happily paired with Noelle. The stable matching is listed at the bottom of the picture, and it is stable because there is no pair in which one member prefers someone else who also prefers them. With these specific preference lists, this is the only stable matching that could occur.
