Creating Personal Traditions:
Writing your own wedding vows may suit your personal wedding style, but it can be a bit of a daunting task to begin

with. If you are trying to write your own vows, don’t let the task overwhelm you or intimidate you. Writing your own

vows should begin and end with how you feel, not what others are expecting. If you are creating your own wedding

ceremony  and style and you want to write your own vows, here are a few questions to consider in creating the

vows you want to make.

When and where did you first meet?
What was the state of your life before the two of you met?
At what point did you realize you were in love? Describe the feeling.
What inspires you about your loved one?
What life goals and dreams do you share?
What have you learned from each other?
What qualities make your love unique? What qualities will keep it strong?
How has your view of the world changed since you fell in love?
What do you most look forward to about life with this person?
What are some special moments in your relationship? Use them all, even the sad times as well as the happy,

moving,  or profound.
What happened the day you asked her to marry you? How did you feel?
Reading the vows you have written yourself during your wedding ceremony can be one of the most romantic things

you’ve ever done. It’s the kind of thing that really helps you create your own personal wedding style. Writing your own

vows is a kind of personal touch that cannot be replicated by any other style of vow.

Des Moines is the capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Iowa. It is also the county seat of Polk County.

A small portion of the city extends into Warren County. It was incorporated on September 22, 1851, as Fort Des Moines

which was shortened to "Des Moines" in 1857. It is named after the Des Moines River, which may have been adapted

from the French Rivière des Moines, literally meaning "River of the Monks."

Des Moines is a major center for the insurance industry and also has a sizable financial services and publishing business

base. In fact, Des Moines was credited with the "number one spot for U.S. insurance companies" in a Business Wire

article. The city is the headquarters for the Principal Financial Group, the Meredith Corporation, Ruan Transportation,

EMC Insurance Companies, and Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield. Other major corporations such as Wells Fargo, ING

Group, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, Marsh, Monsanto and Pioneer Hi-Bred have large operations in or near

the metro area. Forbes magazine ranked Des Moines as the "Best Place for Business" in 2010.

Des Moines is an important city in United States presidential politics as the capital of Iowa, which is home to the Iowa

caucuses. The Iowa caucuses have been the first major electoral event in nominating the President of the United States

since 1972. Hence, many presidential candidates set up campaign headquarters in Des Moines. A 2007 article in The

New York Times stated "if you have any desire to witness presidential candidates in the most close-up and intimate of

settings, there is arguably no better place to go than Des Moines."
