I've seen it happen. I've also been to just the ceremony.
If you are not that close to them, then don't expect to be invited to the reception - especially if they are on a tight budget.
As dino said, go for the ceremony wish them all the happiness and go about your day. If you are questioned about your presence at the reception, say you cannot make it - don't put the blame on the couple.
As for the gift - gifts are accepted at the reception from what I know.
For the guy complaining about dressing up - WTF?!?! Being a dude it should not take you more than 30 mins to put on a shirt, pants, a blazer , socks and shoes. Maybe 5 mins to style your hair. I bet you take the same amount of time to get ready to hit the city on a Friday night.
