This may be a regional thing, but I've never seen anyone raise eyebrows, or get offended when someone stays in their seat for communion - especially at an event like a wedding or funeral where there is likely a significant number of non-Catholic guests present. I've always seen it more of a, "thanks for being quiet and respectful while we do our thing." I've even been to weddings where the priest asks non-Catholics to remain seated.
And for the record, some of my family members are very strictly observant Catholics, so if they had something to say, I would have heard it!
