The answer you quoted was for Camaro509's question.
But to be perfectly clear it is absolutely TRUE fact that the on the date of the 1st marrage that occurs 5 years into the second marriage it is the 17th anniversary of the date the original marriage occurred. I don't care if you want to celebrate it or not. Just like Saturday you are free to celebrate Liberace's 89th birthday.
Also the link you gave for the definition of anniversary states:

An anniversary (from the Latin anniversarius, from the words for year and to turn, meaning (re)turning yearly; known in English since c. 1230) is a day that commemorates and/or celebrates a past event that occurred on the same day of the year as the initial event. For example, the first event is the initial occurrence or, if planned, the inaugural of the event. One year later would be the first anniversary of that event.
