When I was shooting weddings on film, I don't think I ever shot more than 300 frames on a job, the average wedding was 200-250 shots, which I would cull down to 150-200 shots. Some stuff was intentionally redundant, such as shooting 6 or 8 shots of the processional, with the intention of culling it down to four shots. I've talked to a few couples at the studio who have been subjected to photographers shooting ~1000 frames at their wedding. When the photographer is shooting that much, he has become part of the action, when he should be part of the scenery. I've done a couple of weddings on digital, and I admittedly shot more than I would have on film, though not by that much, as the istD was very good at keeping me in check, but I don't think one should shoot more than 300-400 shots in total at a typical wedding. To shoot more than that makes the photographer into a pest, and removes what little pleasure the bride and groom can hope to have during the day.
