I Must admit it gets beyond a joke, my sis went to a posh wedding of a workmate of her hubby, and there was nothing under £100 on list either, so she them £ 50 quid in vouchers, sod that, i would have give em 20 an like it, thats what i give to friends etc, familys maybe about £50 thats all i can afford so tough! My daughter is getting a wedding dress out of me so she getting no prez! They are going to ask people for cash which i do think is a bit forward, i said maybe vouchers an then people may give you cash. or do what i seen on recent wedding invitation, no boxed gifts!
When we got married 6 yrs ago i felt so cheeky doing a wedding list so just asked for argos vouchers, classy aint it! but practical, we managed to buy our first bed with em all! 
Sweet ~ practically newly weds ~ I hadn't realised. No wonder you still like marriage then.
My first marriage in 1963 ~ no guests, two witnesses who bought us a meal in a local chinese as their present (That was the reception) no cake, no gifts, no photos, nothing.
Second marriage in 1988 ~ 20 guests (all family), FiL paid for lunch in local hotel (We had booked it, paid deposit etc and expected to pay for the lunch) When I went to settle to bill afterwards reception told me FiL had paid for it 
.... No present list. No requests made. Left it up to people to do what they wanted about it.
Newly weds erm.....still been through a lot of ups and downs i tell you!
I was married b4 for nearly 19 yrs! but this one is all child free so much more enjoyable, and stress free(ish)! 
We have both trodden the matrimonial path before. I had two children with first wife. Mrs S#2 had none from hers.
We had no intention of having children and that was the situation when, 5 years after we married, whilst seeking help from local gynaecologist for "wimmins trouble" Mrs S#2 was told that she could not have children. So we threw away all the contraceptives and the rest is history
We looked upon the first as a happy accident, then five years later another one came along and we thought "What the f*ck is going on?"
and then number 3 appeared under the gooseberry bush and we couldn't really send him back.
