The Anniversary Zone

pantryslutG. and I have been seeing each other for a year now, more or less.
"More or less" because we haven't quite figured out what constitutes our anniversary, nor what occasion we'd like to use as a marker.
The first time we met? The first time we played? Our first date?
An additional complication is the fact that at least two of those dates are now Bad Omens (tm) for reasons that I can explain to anyone who's interested -- in private.
So, why not open this up to everyone who's in a nontraditional relationship or three. How and when do you choose to mark your relationship anniversary/anniversaries? How did you reach the decision to celebrate it then and that way?
P.S. More random anniversary data:
1) Steven and I couldn't remember the exact date of our official wedding-like anniversary for about nine years. (That's what happens when you elope, I guess.) We think we've got it down now.
2) The other weird thing about G. and I and our anniversary -- in fact, our whole relationship -- is that we've been moving in similar social circles for so long. I knew how to spell his name and what he looked like on sight years before I "met" him, thanks to Black Books' mailing address and his attendance at PPO and other events, for example. (Good thing I'm not a stalker, eh?)
