It's never up to the individual couple. It's the heading of the section. You're obviously not going to put a marriage announcement next to a birth announcment, even if it's from the same year. It'll look unorganized to most people. You have the "general news" section, marriages/commitments/whatever you want to call it, births and deaths.
Also, I think many people ARE interested in seeing what happened to people they've lost contact with. I recently had my 5 year reunion and saw a couple of girls I hadn't seen/spoken with since graduation, and caught up on news. I found out that one girl, who transferred to another school was pregnant (she's married, btw). Sure enough, a few months later, I received the school's Old Girls magazine and news of her baby's birth was printed there. Also, you might want to find out info about people who were "school celebrities" (students who had high profile leadership positions) who were not in your year. For example, the Boarder Captain (boarding school prefect ("prefects", for those who might not know, are senior student leadership positions, usually with specific portfolios (Head Girl/Boy/Prefect, Games Captain, Arts Prefect, etc) elected by students in the spring (for the following academic year). Some positions may be appointed by faculty. In some schools, prefects are in office for two years (meaning that half the students are in grade 11 and the other half in grade 12). This system is common in private schools, especially those based on the UK system) who graduated the year before I did recently married.
