'I'm utterly gobsmacked': #Bride and #groom cause outrage by emailing a guest to say her £100 #wedding gift wasn't generous enough (and demand an 'adjustment')

A pair of newlyweds have sparked outrage after emailing a guest to say that her wedding gift wasn't generous enough.

The guest - an ex-colleague of the bride - professed herself 'gobsmacked' that the couple had been rude enough to bemoan her £100 contribution in response for cash gifts.

Taking to Mumsnet, the anonymous poster known as Puzzledandp***sedoff and believed to be from the UK, asked fellow users for advice and found herself inundated with more than a thousand responses in three days, with many urging her to cancel the cheque altogether.

According to the poster, the email read: 'We were surprised that your contribution didn't seem to match the warmth of your good wishes on our big day.
In view of your own position, if you wanted to send any adjustment it would be thankfully received.'

'For someone who's not easily shocked I confess I'm utterly gobsmacked by this,' she confessed, explaining that her 'inheritance' probably referred to a recent inheritance she had received.
