Cherubs

Castiel: your people call them "Cupid"...what human myth has mistaken for "Cupid" is actually a lower order of angel. Technically it's a cherub, third-class.

There are dozens of Cherubs on Earth as of now, according to Castiel, which humans refer to as "Cupid". Cherubs are very low on the Celestial Chain of Command, more specifically ranked as third class angels. They can cause people to fall in love.

John and Mary’s marriage was 'top priority' on Heaven's agenda. Their marriage was orchestrated by a Cherub. And apparently, they couldn't stand one another, but Michael had a cupid interfere, which resulted in their marriage.

It remains unknown as to whether or not cupids need Vessels. And how they manifest is also unclear.
