Gameplay
In this variation on The Newlywed Game, three engaged couples try to match answers to questions, worth varying amounts of money.

At the start of the game, each couple is given $100, and one member of each couple is sent into a soundproof gazebo. The other three players place wagers on any of three questions in each of two categories. The couples are then reunited. If the couple's answers match, the question value is added to their score. If not, the question value is deducted from their score and added to a "Sweepstakes" jackpot, which starts at $100.

The second round is played the same way, but with the players' roles reversed and the question values increased.

The final Sweepstakes question is played for the jackpot. The couples are shown three possible answers to a question. A correct answer adds the jackpot amount to the couple's score, but a wrong answer incurs no penalty. The couple with the most money wins a special honeymoon and participates in a Magic Moment organized by the show's staff.
