 Actually i was with you on this point.  At first I was confused because I thought it was a wedding anniversary.  But yes,  they should celebrate the milestone,  but I think that the traditions of marriage are getting diluted.  What markes the event once  you get married?  extra special paper?
I myself would like to mark the occasion,  without assigning any  traditional  trappings of another institution.  
How about thinking of a special activity that you both like,  or a special place,  and spending some quiet time there.  My BF & I spent a lot of time in my residence's fireside room.  we went back there to sneak a bottle of wine  and some cuddling on our first anniversay of dating...
