Today is the first (year) anniversary of our marriage.
Is 'year' optional? Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
You can leave out "year".

@tanguatlay,
the word anniversary comes from the Latin roots
annus = year
and
versus = turning
the year turns, that is an anniversary, therefore it would be redundant to add the word year, since it's already a part of the word anniversary.
