THE VOW and RALPH LAUREN ROMANCE share the theme of enduring love. Paige and Leo (Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum) are a happy newlywed couple whose lives are changed by a car accident that puts Paige in a coma.  Waking up with severe memory loss, Paige has no memory of Leo, a confusing relationship with her parents (Sam Neill and Jessica Lange), and an ex-fiance (Scott Speedman) she may still have feelings for.  Despite these complications, Leo endeavors to win her heart again and rebuild their marriage.

"The moving narrative of THE VOW reflects the RALPH LAUREN ROMANCE story about true love conquering all," says Guillaume de Lesquen, President of Ralph Lauren Fragrances Worldwide, "and there couldn't be two better actors than Rachel and Channing to convey this narrative."

As part of the collaboration, RALPH LAUREN ROMANCE will be the exclusive sponsor of THE VOW red carpet world premiere and after-party, taking place on Monday, February 6, 2012 in Los Angeles.  One winner of two passes to these events, and three winners of the RALPH LAUREN ROMANCE fragrance, will be randomly selected on January 19, 2012 through a sweepstakes hosted on the Ralph Lauren Facebook fan site.
