I could never get this to work satisfactorily, I can either see
birthdays or wedding anniversaries in the agenda but not both.

I used to use gnus but changed to mu4e.  My gnus broke during the change
to emacs24 and I couldn't find the help out there to fix it.  Mu4e has
good documentation and a very helpful developer.  It was very easy to
change to mu4e.  If I had a very high volume of emails I would consider
having another go at gnus.
