It's definitely something people talk about. "Ooooh did you see the cookie table?" "Oh I went to this wedding last weekend that had the best cookie table!"
I don't think, however, that people hold it against a couple if their cookie table isn't the greatest thing a guest has ever seen. They may hold it against them if the cookies aren't that good, though.
And attributing a marriage that doesn't last to the lack of a cookie table is most likely 90% joke. I've also never seen someone leave a wedding because there was no cookie table.
