When you have already bought a wedding gift for a wedding shower, Is it wrong not to take anything to the actual wedding? Or are you suppose to buy two wedding gifts?

A shower gift is separate from the actual wedding gift. Generally for the shower, the couple is registered at one or more stores. You get the list of items they want from the store(s), see which ones haven't already been purchased, then buy one.
For the wedding, itself, most people give money. This is generally because the cost of the wedding, reception, etc. have cost so much, that they could use it.
It is also okay to bring a gift to the wedding. You can also skip the shower, just do RSVP with a cannot attend, so they know how many people are coming.

I think that most people who brought a gift to the shower do not bring a gift to the wedding. At the wedding the people who did not go to the shower bring their gifts.

No, you are only expected to buy one gift. The only gifts at the wedding usually come from those who did not attend the showers/ wedding parties.

You should bring something to the wedding. Even a card with money or a gift certificate is acceptable. If you are low on cash you can always make something nice for their new place.
