New York City, NY
Matt is planning his wedding and the more money he wins, the crazier the reception is going to be. Matt says the first thing is to create "Benjamin bouquets" for the bridal party - take $100 bills and make them into paper flowers. He and his bride will exit on an elephant - Cedric says why not, since it's New York and you can get an elephant just about anywhere. He wants to have Stevie Wonder to do the music for the ceremony and Earth, Wind and Fire for the reception.
