I am in my mid-twenties and so far it's a split. My friend and I got married around the same time and had similar wedding styles (less then 10k total cost, no more then 50 guests, after gifts my wife and I basically broke even; I am assuming the same for my friend). I've had two friends do traditional weddings (200+ people, large venue, pretty flashy). No clue if they had to take out loans - I just assume their parents paid for it.
