Well; we don't know for certain that marrying outside of the water tribe itself is appreciated. But, we do see that the North/South water tribes were sharing harmony with one another at the time - they were meeting together. I doubt there was animosity with them.

Sokka did attempt to court Yue, and she was receptive to a degree, but we don't really know Hakoda's thoughts of it other than he trusted Sokka to guard his own daughter. But regardless, I don't see reason that Water Tribe -> Water Tribe is disallowed. (Or was, considering they were freely joining together in Kuruk's time)

But yeah. I'm not positive what the world's view of say, Katara x Aang, or Sokka x Suki are. They are the only two couples to be outside of their nation as a whole- and the only people who are really clued Sokka / Suki's relationship are family and the Gaang. (I think) - Outsiders might see them as kids who had to join up to fight together, not realizing they're a couple.

Aang x Katara, I don't know. We don't see that anybody knows of them because the very final scene is them getting together. We fail to see the reactions - and I am no positive it wouldn't be frowned upon by some. I suspect some in the Northern Water Tribe would be offended of that but it's just a guess.
