Gold or Money?

I'll be getting married in less than 5 months time! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! My aunt called from overseas the other day to ask my mom if I would prefer gold jewelry or cash as a gift. Personally, I think I would prefer cash but a gold keepsake from my relatives will be nice to have. This is especially so since the gold prices have shot through the roof due to investors clamoring to get into gold investing to hedge their investments. I can't decide...perhaps I should just leave it to them. I know I'll be happy with whatever they choose to give!
