Depends.
Are they having an actual wedding and reception? If so then you should be generous or do not go.
No party but they are close to you? Then a small gift expressing your love and happines at their union would be appreciated. Something like a picture frame for the wedding photo, or an album with the inscription, "congratulations on your new life, I'm so happy you found each other"
I was married 2 years ago, for the third time, my husband second. We had a small ceremony, 1 couple (our best friends) and family only. Our brother in law threw us a small party after.
When we invited people to the ceremony we told them no gifts.
The party was a surprise and we did receive small tokens of love from our friends and family. We loved it all.
Doesn't have to be extravagent, just heartfelt. All marriages should be celebrated.

I would buy a gift certificate to Home Goods, or Home Depot if they are buying a house, you could also find out about their honeymoon plans and contribute to that. If they are going on a cruise, find out what travel agent they are using you can usually buy them a gift such as chocolate dipped strawberries, champagne or even spa treatments for when they are on board. If they are not going on a honeymoon, make them up a honeymoon kit for their wedding night, include champagne, two glasses, some candles and a cd with romantic music on it. Even if it is their 300th marriage, if you are close to them and you would like to acknowledge their marriage, get them something, even if people say no gifts, they usually appreciate an acknowledgement of some kind.

They are on their third marriage and have most items already, but most items probably came from previous marriages. Maybe a nice sheet set would be good. Something that is always nice is a picnic basket with 2 wine glasses, bottle of wine, and other makings for a picnic, or maybe the makings for a romantic dinner. Or maybe a gift certificate to a really nice restaurant. Or if they have any kids from previous marriage, make a certificate on computer for free babysitting so they can have a nice evening out.

Ok so the obvious answer is marriage couseling, I had to throw that in. But seriously I would opt to give them a photo frame and maybe some money. If you have given a present before to either of them I wouldn't spend a lot of money this time. I would buy something that in case of another divorce they would not fight over. I think that maybe a nice photo album to hold all of their wedding pictures or honeymoon pictures. Maybe buy some items for a honeymoon. Like if they are going t Hawaii buy the some towels, suncreen and fun accessories.

A good Lawyer
A copy of "Common Sense"
A doghouse
Ok seriously, buy off the registry, a nice card w/cash or gift card, or something personalized from www.customweddingsolutions.com ( they have nice stuff)

A gift certificate for a divorce attorney....J/K
I would just put some money in a card for them. I am sure they have everything they need combined between the two of them.

You get one million present. next weddings are meant to be the style of nicely-stored secret that there is no question of presents. when you consider that etiquette has long gone thoroughly to hell, i might recommend a rechargable present card from WalMart. It has that particular je ne sais quoi.

1. Are they actually expecting gifts- or does the reception card state "no gifts please"- it should.
2. A free ticket to marrigae counseling (sorry just being goofy)
3. A gift certificate to somewhere
4. Money
