Actually it was (that time). Check out www.m-w.com and look up anniversary:
Etymology: Middle English anniversarie, from Medieval Latin anniversarium, from Latin, neuter of anniversarius returning annually, from annus year + versus, past participle of vertere to turn -- more at ANNUAL, WORTH
Date: 13th century
1 : the annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event
2 : the celebration of an anniversary
If its not annual, its not technically an anniversary. Sure, _you_ could say that every Wednesday is an anniversary but not everyone would understand you...
