Ray & Delia Marchetti
Fifty-one years, four kids, one very disputed recipe for Sunday gravy. They still take ballroom lessons every Thursday night.
2026 Competition · Now open
Better. Together.
One couple will share their love story in a national magazine feature, take home $20,000, and toast it all over dinner in the Hollywood Hills. Entering is free, and every vote raises money for good causes.
Real love, real stories
Celebrating connection that lasts
Love isn't polished or perfect. It's the inside jokes, the hard years, the way someone hands you coffee without being asked. From newlyweds to sixty-year veterans, this is a stage for the couples who make everyone else believe in it.
This year's ambassadors
Nia & Sam Whitford
They met when their dogs tangled leashes in a Chicago park. Now they run a neighborhood bakery and argue happily about croissants.
Arthur & Glen Okafor-Reyes
Thirty years together, married the first morning they legally could. Their garden is famous for three blocks in every direction.
