Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie shocked everyone with their fling-turned-to-Vegas-wedding, but the couple has kept it together with passion for a year now.

Their relationship (and the things they do) turn quite a few heads and their first anniversary celebrations followed suit. First, the couple renewed their vows in their kitchen as a Church of Enlightenment minister oversaw the “ceremony.” The two pulled out a Sling Blade, cut each other’s fingers and sucked one another’s blood. (She must have a fetish for blood love. During her first wedding to actor Jonny Lee Miller, the couple painted each other’s names on their chests in blood.)

Then Angelina presented her hubby with his anniversary gift: two burial plots she had purchased in Little Rock, Arkansas, next the Billy Bob’s brother. This doesn’t come as a surprise to those close to the Tomb Raider star say she is obsessed with two things: Billy Bob and death. Angelina has told stories of suicide thoughts and even hired a hitman to kill her once but changed her mind.
