Wow - what a bunch of judgemental and nasty comments. Marriages don't always work out. More than half of all weddings will end in divorces, people - that's just the way it is. Sorry you all find that so funny - many of you, will likely be in divorce court someday.
To answer the question - you should treat this like any other wedding - if they are registered - get them something off their registry. Celebrate this new relationship & be happy for them - he's your best friend, so I am sure that you are!

Well traditionally for a 3rd wedding Anniversary you would give leather. So I suppose that theoretically you could buy something in leather. I know it's not her 3rd anniversary but it is her third wedding. How about one of those nice leather rugs that are very popular at the moment?
Hope this helps and have a nice evening.

Ask them where they're registered, and get something from the registry. It doesn't matter how many times they had been married before, there's no special gift for the 3rd marriage as opposed to the first marriage.

All I can say it that I am my husbands 3rd wife and it is a case of third time lucky. We didn't actually want presents as we had everything for our home. Most people did give gift cards though and some gave wine and champagne.

Buy a wedding card and write a hopeful note in it about your very best wishes for his happiness. I doubt he would expect a 3rd gift. If you really want to spend money, write in the card that you would like to take them to dinner in the future to celebrate.

If you gifted her on the first or second wedding, technically you are not expected to bring a gift for her third wedding.
If you feel that you should, then bring a rather modest gift. A picture frame or a photo album, something on the range of $25 or less.
Good luck

I agree with Lisamomof2.. Treat it like any other wedding, if this is truly your best friend, don't be judgmental, or solicit other people to join in on putting him/her down.
The best gift would be for you to be supportive and not mention the past.. joking or not. Any other gift would just be a nice gesture.

He's your best friend.
Are you the best man? If you are, you'll have lots of ideas for your speech from the suggestions here. But buy something good. It might be his third time around, but who's to say this time it won't work? He obviously thinks it will.

A business card to the best family lawyer in your county? Sorry, but I'm not real sure 3rd weddings need presents!

Something cheap and returnable.
Are they registered anywhere? If they are you know you are getting them something they can use and that they want. If not ask him what he wants, or what they can use as a couple. You can always buy them a piece of their honeymoon, like a certificate to a restaurant whereever they are traveling.
