I would not expect my invited guests to pay for the wedding through their gift. I certainly wouldn't complain about them with an "Occupy Calgary" sense of entitlement.
I would like to know if this suspected cheap guest had to travel to attend, or if this guest was suffering from some sort of financial strife. Do you ask for each guests net worth before they were entitled to have the privilege of paying for a meal that you would be determining?
My mother often makes gifts (she is an artist) for the newly wed couple, does she have to attach a monetary value to her creativity to be adequately justified in attending?
You may not have the values that I have perceived, however, you came across as very ungrateful for the meager penance of which you were given.
