Taking your post along with Tamakun's about Metroid, and given timezone leanings, does that mean you got married on Samus' 20th?
That is most definitely not the point, though. Congratulations! I really don't know Whitney but I gather from you that she's pretty great, so I feel qualified to officially designate you a Good Couple - yes, I do get sentimental about these things on anniversaries.
I believe, after a hasty Google search and a site full of ads, that the traditional fifth anniversary gift is supposed to be "wood", which is probably the most charming and yet most easily abusable of the lot. The modern one is "silverware" but as I'm sure there are better anniversary presents than knives and forks, the site also has such helpful recommendations for each year as "airline tickets" "cruise" and "beach vacation" - I'm sure "spa weekend" would have been a suggestion if they'd actually been trying.
And just so you know in advance, next year's suggestion is "Candy", "Iron" or "Disney World". You could set up an elaborate celebration in which each all three are presented!
Because I've spent most of this being silly I feel the need to mention again that I really am pleased for the two of you - in general, but a yearly milestone seems as good a time to mention it as any.
