When I really think about it, after a year I do remember saying １年たったな after my first year. We did both say １年おめでとう though for sure, and we did cheers after that and ate dinner... I think it was kind of a tongue in cheeck thing on my wife's part though.
About Yamagata ben, I've not really heard it spoken full throttle before, but what I have heard of it has caused me to come to a couple conclusions. It's really cold up there, therefore things get super abbreviated. The first thing my friend taught me was that in place of "食べる？" they say "く？" and instead of "食べろよ", they say "け". Also, a lot of the か row becomes が, which is sometimes true around here as well (but it's not really acknowledged).

To be fair, they're not just saying く. They're saying 食う（くう）, meaning the same thing as 食べる, but it is more rude in Tokyo. Then, if they're truly saying け, it's just a quicker contraction of 食え（くえ）.
