does this sound greedy?

so a co-worker is going to a wedding this month and was askign my advise on what to get.

i said a check. he mentioned maybe a gift certificate. i said a check.

he asked how much. i said it should at least pay for your plate.

so we talked prices. and i said 150.

then we talked some more about registries and random gifts. then it came back to money

so he was like, it really is all about gettin money huh?

and i responded sheepishly, like yeah (kinda like o well)

but now im thinking...i know thats kinda the reality of it...and just how the whole wedding biz and industry makes it out to be....but since im getting married next year....does that make me look greedy??

like if i invite them i just want cash and nothing else?

(i havent decided if im inviting co-workers yet or not)

i just feel like sometimes teh whole wedding industry has me jaded and makes me long for a quick, simple wedding with friends. and not worrying about $$ or thinking about what a proper gift is....
