Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Since anniversaries typically are between two people, if you have both in your contact list with the anniversary set, you will get two entries on that particular date in your calendar. This seems illogical. So, in stead of seeing:
[ Anniversary: Smith, Jack (1) ]
[ Anniversary: Smith, Jane (1) ]
I'd expect to see:
[ Anniversary: Jack and Jane (1) ]
Also, I'd like to select how names should be formatted in anniversaries or birthdays, like 'first last', 'last, first' or 'last' or 'first' only; or possibly 'first'/'first (last)' or 'last'/last (first)' to resolve ambiguities.

Agreed. Additionally, in the spouse field of the contacts, it should autofill with names from your address book, like the TO: field does in an email. That, or perhaps have a button that you can use to select people from your address book.
