gift registries go green

As in, like, the color of cold hard cash.

Increasingly, couples are requesting cash as a wedding gift, the Wall Street Journal reports.

I've obviously never been on the receiving end, but in a handful of cases, I've given a couple a cash-filled envelope instead of the usual Bed Bath & Beyond gift card.

I usually make that move when it's a second marriage, and I already know the couple has everything they need for their home. But I don't do it without guilt: The contrast between the cash and the doily-clad greeting card makes me feel like I'm tainting a relationship with stripper earnings.

Cash as a wedding present: Senseless, or spot-on?
