The only reference I saw was in the PST importer, which has this line:
  contact_set_date (ec, E_CONTACT_ANNIVERSARY, c->wedding_anniversary);
that would indicate that for some persons at least, the anniversary
field is supposed to be the wedding anniversary.

But probably it comes from VCard, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard,
that defines the X-ANNIVERSARY property as "arbitrary anniversary, in
addition to BDAY = birthday".
