According to the Toronto Star, Kathy Mason and her boyfriend attended the wedding of a woman called Laura – her second name has not been given.
As a wedding gift, the couple decided to give the bride and her same-sex partner a food hamper, consisting of food items like pasta, olive oil, Marshmallow Fluff and jelly sweets.
However, shortly after the wedding, Ms Mason received a text message which requested to see the receipt for the gift.
She then received a message which read: "I want to thank you for coming to the wedding Friday.
"I'm not sure if it's the first wedding you have been to, but for your next wedding … people give envelopes. I lost out on $200 (£130) covering you and your date's plate… and got fluffy whip and sour patch kids in return. Just a heads-up for the future."
The newspaper says a heated email exchange then took place between the two women, with Mason referring to Laura as having "the etiquette of a twig".
She continued: "I couldn't care less of what you think about the gift you received.
"'Normal' people would welcome anything given. You wanna have a party, you pay for it, don't expect me to."
Later, the bride suggested that Mason should poll "normal-functioning people" about whether she was wrong to give the food basket as a present. So she did and asked readers of The Spectator and the Burlington Mamas Facebook group, where she received more than 200 responses.
She explained: "We just appreciate the support; the confirmation that what we did was thoughtful and not out of place."
Laura, who is Italian, and her Croatian bride have stated they have never attended a wedding where guests did not give money as a gift. She also went on to claim that Mason was one of only two guests who did not give in excess of $150 as a gift.
