Most Canadians would prefer cash as a wedding gift to use toward a down payment on a home purchase, with those in British Columbia the most likely to make such a request, a poll finds.
A total of 79 percent of respondents who are planning a wedding said they would consider asking for money instead of traditional wedding gifts, including 37 percent who said they definitely would do so, and 42 percent who said they might, a Burson survey commissioned by Royal LePage Real Estate Services shows.
