Just Married & Wife Is Already Disgusted. I Counted Money Envelopes At The Reception. What Is Wrong With That?

I was married last Friday. A very high class ceremony with all the trimmings. Anyway, a long story short:
We did all the normal stuff – speeches, dinner, 1st dance…. However, I will admit, I did rush through greeting / thanking all the guests so I could grab the ‘gift box’ filled with all the money envelopes.
I finished the last table & told my wife I had to use the men’s room – instead a took the box to our room and counted all the money. It was eating me alive to see how much these people gave. No family of 4 at my wedding is giving $35 and getting away with it!!
About 90 minutes later my wife and some other concerned guests found me in the hotel room. I explained what I was doing but they were very angry. They even SWORE at me!!!
I really was not gone that long & don’t think it is that big of a deal. I wanted to make sure we made a profit on the wedding.
She is still fuming mad – states she was embarrassed. What is wrong so wrong with what I did?
