Oh for crying out loud.
The whole idea of giving wedding gifts came from the notion that a bride and a groom - neither of whom had been married before or had lived on their own for long if at all - needed certain basic things to set up their new home: sheets, towels, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, glassware, etc.
In this day and age, that's kind of old-fashioned. Many people (a) live on their own for years before moving in with a partner, (b) live together before getting married, (c) are getting married for the second/third/fifth/sixteenth time - and therefore already have more than enough sheets, towels, pots and pans, etc. and don't need yet another toaster.
But, in my mind, the idea still stands that you give the couple something they can use long-term. This might be a more unusual appliance like a slow cooker, a hand-crafted item like hand-knitted pot holders or embroidered napkins, or even a check or gift card if imagination fails.
A massage lasts an hour. A marriage lasts (or should last) a lifetime.
