Wedding Present vs Angpao

I attended a wedding dinner. I presented to the bride a gift. I came home after that...

Mom: You gave a present to the newly weds?
Me: Yup
Mom: People prefer angpao lo...
Me: I give angpao feels like they are poor. Besides, i only give money during funeral.
Mom: So, if there are 40 tables for the dinner, then everyone give present then the couple mai recieve too much presents loh...
Me: It is everybody giving angpao, that's why i give present lah...different a bit...

To the newly weds whose bride is my girl's cousin, i wish both of you everlasting, loved and happy marriage. May you have kids that makes both of you happy (who says only your husband can give you happiness....jk). Live happy ever after...
