When my wife and I tied the knot, the most interesting things we received were an embroidered pillow and a Waterford crystal bowl, the former of which now languishes in a moving box while the latter was, interestingly enough, recently shattered during a particularly feverish bout of Wii Sports boxing (sorry mom!).
There is symmetry here, however, that does not go unnoticed, as Amazon currently lists the Wii as the top gift requested by newlyweds registered on the site. Unfortunately, Amazon also notes that the popular console is currently 'out of stock,' leaving couples to instead settle for the second most requested gift, Pyrex's 10-piece food storage set, a poor substitute given its inherent lack of waggle.
Wii accessories, including the remote, nunchuck, and Nyko charging station, were also included in the compilation of popular wedding gifts, though without a system to use them on these sorts of presents just smack of being cruel. Interestingly, both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were also found in the list as well, both products of what we can only assume to be wishful thinking or misaligned priorities -- perhaps a bit of both.

And this is why honeymooners(sp?) aren't spending more time pro-creating!
Get out there and sleep with each other!! You waited until marriage, so do it! Then again if you're not Catholic, you already have....

You must waggle pretty damn hard to shatter a pillow.

You know, good waggle technique is the foundation of a strong marriage.

Here's the breakdown:
1st: Wii
2nd: Pyrex tupperware set
15th: Wii remote
26th: Nunchuck
44th: 60GB PS3
76th: Nyko's Wii charging station
96th: 20GB 360
These are the things that honeymooners want. Honeymooners spend more time sexing than any other time in their life. Therefore, the Wii is a sexier machine, and/or an aphrodesiac. Buy a Wii and you will get laid.

Go on, laugh it up. My moustache could swallow your soul. And it's OBVIOUSLY not a molesterstache, but a railroad tycoon/supervillain stache in the style of Snidely Whiplash, except when I wax it down and look like Shang Tsung. It's more versatile than you think.
