Make Your Editor Cry: First-Year Anniversary

In the phrase, “our first year anniversary” or “our one year anniversary” the use of the word “year” is redundant because it creates a tautology.
Just writing either “our first anniversary”—(or “50th anniversary” for that matter)— will suffice.
Incorrect:
We vacationed at Niagara Falls for our first year anniversary.
Correct:
We vacationed at Niagara Falls for our first anniversary.
