Anyone NOT registering?

My fiance and I will have been living together for almost 2 years by the time our wedding rolls around, so we personally found the idea of registering for gifts tacky. We already have everything. Not to offend anyone who does, its just not our personal belief that gifts should be given by our guests---their presence is gift enough.

However, both our mothers keep asking us questions about when we're registering, and arguing that guests will want to gift us something so it might as well be something we might want, even though we're pretty adamantly opposed to it.

Will guests really bring us gifts even though we're not registered? What should we do with the gifts we get? Do we return them? Just politely accept them even though it was never expected or wanted? I really want to just tell everybody "no gifts", but I've heard that even addressing the gift thing at all is impolite and in poor taste. I really don't want to offend anyone, but I also don't want people spending money for us except to show up and share in the day.

Thanks for any thoughts and advice in advance!
