Today, Hidden Valley Ranch announced the launch of "A Match Made in Hidden Valley,"&nbsp;a search for one Ranch-obsessed couple ready to step into the spotlight and tie the knot at an ultimate Big Game Sunday wedding celebration. Designed for a couple who refuses to compromise on Valentine's Day or game day, this national contest proves that love and sports belong on the same team, with Hidden Valley Ranch at the center of it all.
The winning couple will experience a dream game-day wedding in Los Angeles for 50 guests, complete with travel, lodging and attire for the couple. Hidden Valley Ranch will handle the venue, catering, drinks, and event details. The festivities start with a ceremony before game time, move into a traditional wedding reception, and top off with game day bites perfectly paired with Hidden Valley Ranch.
"You shouldn't have to choose between romance and game day," said Daniel Schear, Marketing Director at Hidden Valley Ranch. "We created this contest to celebrate love without compromise, bringing together two classic American obsessions—football and ranch—for an unforgettable wedding provided by Hidden Valley Ranch."

The winning couple will be notified on or around December 14, 2026, before heading to Los Angeles for their February 14, 2027 wedding celebration.

A Match Made in Hidden Valley: Hidden Valley Ranch Is Throwing One Couple's Ultimate Big Game & Vale

Marilyn Monroe’s work in director Billy Wilder’s comedic classic is often cited as her best. The film was controversial for its racy humor and story about two musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) who disguise themselves as women to evade the Mafia. But of equal scandal were the Oscar-winning costumes made by Orry-Kelly for Monroe’s Sugar Kane Kowalczyk. Both dresses are on display in the exhibit Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon, on view through February 28, 2027. Some Like It Hot was made during a year of dramatic highs and lows for Monroe, with this film standing as a high point.

The third film in the contemporary version of the Planet of the Apes series finds the ape leader Caesar (another remarkable motion capture performance by Andy Serkis) seeking a safe haven for the survivors of a human-led massacre, only to wind up in a labor camp run by a vicious military officer (Woody Harrelson). The film was nominated for the visual effects by Joe Letteri, Daniel Barrett, Dan Lemmon and Joel Whist, who depict the film’s ape characters and wintry, post-apocalyptic setting with astonishing realism.
