I can usually handle it if they didn't have the regular pre-wedding gift giving events. Some couples have it in addition to an engagement party, bridal/wedding shower (or a couple of them), bachelor and bachelorette parties, and so on.
I'm also ok with the concept if it's for a charity/person in need. For example, my hometown community sometimes throws casino nights to help defray the costs of expensive medical treatments, particularly for families in need. Weddings, however, are not that important. If you want to throw the big fancy wedding, fund it yourself or only depend on family to help pay for it. If you're paying for it yourself and can't afford it, don't throw the big fancy wedding.
