Was this an appropriate wedding gift? Yahoo! Canada users weigh in

On Thursday, we reported on a bride who was unhappy about a wedding gift she received. She was so unhappy that she texted the gift-giver, asking for a receipt and lashing out at them for an "inappropriate gift."

We asked you to weigh in and received more than 1,000 comments in just over a day.

So what do Yahoo! Canada readers think? An overwhelming majority of Yahoo! Canada readers say under no circumstances were the bride’s actions justifiable.

“When you invite people to a wedding you are inviting them to share in your joy at getting married. The cost of the wedding gifts should not be any indication of how much it cost to put on the wedding,” Pat says.

“I must be behind on what a wedding is for because I honestly thought weddings were about committing yourself to the one you love and celebrating with friends and family. My bad,” says Quartney Head. “This bride is spoiled and ridiculously immature. I honestly thought the give the couple gave was sweet and funny. I would've had a laugh about and been happy about it.”

Some commenters even say that they’ve dealt with a not-so-great wedding gift, but that they dealt in a completely different way.

“When I got married, we opened our cards the next day and a friend from college gave us just the card...nothing in it other than congrats,” Tanya writes. “I was not upset, I was just happy he could attend and be with us to help us celebrate our day. That is why you invite people to a wedding. Not for gifts.”

And some of you even thought the debated gift basket was a great idea – and probably not as cheap as the brides thought it was.

“I think it is a cute gift that had some thought put into it. It wouldn't have upset or offended me because I would appreciate the thought and the cuteness of it,” writes NickelsB.

“I would have LOVED this basket! Something to pig out on when we got back to our room,” writes Candice.

“Groceries are expensive these days, a couple of small bags from the store often runs me over $100. I bet the gift, while looking small was not as cheap as it appeared,” says Jessie’s Girl.

However, some Yahoo! Canada users did understand where the bride was coming from.

“The bride's comments were very poor, but WOW what was this chick thinking in sending them a box of #$%$,” writes Heather.

“I think they are both wrong. The gift could have been very nice if she purchased an actual picnic basket that comes with the wine glasses and picnic dishes,” writes Sirena. “She could have put the goodies in and added a bottle of champagne or wine. Her idea was a good idea but wrongly executed and she cheaped out….”

“I'll be ashamed to be either of them, the bride and the guest,” agress user L.H. “To the bride: wedding is time to share the happiness, not to collect money or gift. To the guest: should come to the wedding with the spirit of celebrating your friend happiness, and try to be nice, try to help the new wed couple to offset the cost of the wedding….”

“People give what they can afford. Was this suitable for a wedding? Probably not,” Brenda says. “Was the bride's attack on the gifter appropriate? Certainly not.”
