Facebook will then remind you of upcoming anniversaries in the form of events.

If your friends can see your relationship information, then they can see your anniversary information too, but they will not be alerted as in the case of birthdays.

For those who takes pride in showing off their relationship status, this will be an added tool. As for those, who likes to keep things private, this might not seem necessary and/or will be worried about privacy, but i feel such people might not have missed many important date in their life.

So, i think this is a pretty cool feature for all those forgetful Facebook users.
