If your answer to #1 is "tenth" and your answer to #2 is "first," then where did the extra year go?

It seems obvious that the first year is the first, but also that celebrating the tenth anniversary after eleven years of marriage also sounds rather odd

In other words myrialux and I been married ten years now which makes this either our ninth or tenth anniversary, depending on how you count that. Given that the "modern" gift suggestion for 10 is diamonds, I am not opposed to celebrating my tenth anniversary twice.

edit: yes I'm aware the math makes it work out as the 10th anniversary, this was the result of a half-asleep argument this morning and I can't be bothered to take the poll down. :D
