To think that people using GoFundMe for personal life choices, like weddings or holidays, is tacky?

Everyone seems to be crowdfunding everything these days. AIBU to think it’s inappropriate to ask people to fund personal indulgences?

Absolutely - it's pure greed and entitlement. Save up for things the same as most other people do.
I don't see why these people expect others to pay the vet bill or for their kids Xmas presents.

Very tacky, I would royally take the piss if I knew anyone doing this, wouldn't donate and would seriously consider cutting off the friendship

I’ve not noticed this, maybe it’s the circles you mix in?

Agreed. But you don't have to donate. You do you.
