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."
