one year anniversary party??

My best friend got married about a year ago and now her family is asking her if she's having a "one year" party. We've never heard of that before and she isnt' sure if they just want an excuse to have a party (which we're all up for!!) or if there really is a tradition of having an anniversary party for one year?

I only know one person who did this.

She also threw her own engagement party, kicked out a BM (And replaced her), added a GM just so her sides would be even, and invented a "new" dollar dance at her wedding just to get cash from her guests (And we're from an area where the "traditional" one is considered tacky as hell, so this was not well-received at all).

Since her wedding, I tend to think "if she did it, it's most likely incredibly rude".

Although her party was just a way for her to  AW her wedding some more: She forced everybody to ooh and ahh over her wedding album, insisted on doing a "spotlight dance" in the middle of her backyard (The guests had to watch her and her husband dance to their first dance again ... which was painstaking enough the first time we all sat through it) and they had a "cake-cutting" ceremony. So the whole thing was pretty damn obnoxious.

I think if it was just a BBQ or house party with none of the extra stuff, people actually would have liked it.


ETA: I didn't mean to make it sound like having the wedding album to look at it was a bad idea. My friend literally walked around for 2 hours with it just sticking it in people's faces "Have you seen it yet? What do you think?". Which, yes, doing it that way is a bad idea.
