At least in Coconuts case she would only have to be 113 for the 10 carat diamond.

And no the DVD's don't count but hell I'm no expert on anniversary gifts we never followed that stuff.
"They" are the same people who created the sham known as "Sweetest Day". Jewlers have their own lists of "Anniversary Gemstones". Florists have their own lists of "Anniversary Flowers". When I moved from Connecticut to Michigan, my girlfriend at the time (wife now) wanted us to go out on "Sweetest Day". Having never heard of this "holiday" before, I asked around. None of my family had ever heard of it before.

Trust me, when I reach 10 years, I won't be getting my wife that 10th Anniversary band you see advertised by DeBeers (The Diamond Monopoly). That thing costs more than I make in a year. (Try $29,000).

Yeah, you're right. DVD's are polycarbonite, not Iron (Steel). Oh darn.
