Helpful Wedding
Tips:
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.

Moab is the county seat of
Grand County and a regional center of
southeastern Utah. It is located near the east
bank of the Colorado River on the west side of
the 12,500-foot-high La Sal Mountains in a
valley fifteen miles long and three miles wide
within the heart of the Colorado Plateau. Known
variously as Grand Valley, Spanish Valley, and
Mormon Fort, the biblical name Moab was adopted
in 1880 when a mail route was established
between Salina, Utah, and Ouray, Colorado. The
first permanent settlers arrived in 1878-79; but
before that date Native Americans, including the Sabuagana Utes, had long occupied the valley and
used the nearby crossing of the Colorado River.
Even before settlement, the Moab area had a long and colorful history. Late in
1765 Juan Maria Antonio de Rivera reached the Moab area with an expedition sent
north from New Mexico to reconnoiter the land on both sides of the Colorado
River. Although other New Mexican traders probably used the crossing, their
travels have gone unrecorded, and it is not until 1830, when the Spanish Trail
was opened between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Los Angeles, California, that the
river crossing became of great significance.
In an unsuccessful attempt to control the crossing of the Colorado River and
carry out missionary work among the Indians of southeastern Utah, forty-one men
were called by Mormon leaders in April 1855 to establish the Elk Mountain
Mission at present-day Moab. Traveling from Sanpete Valley along the Old Spanish
Trail, the group crossed the Colorado River in mid-June and commenced
construction of a rock fort. They remained until late September of 1855, at
which time they returned to Sanpete Valley after Indian attacks destroyed their
crops and left three men dead.
More than two decades later, in 1878, permanent settlers returned to Moab to
establish farms and ranches. As the community evolved, a Mormon ward and a
community school were established in 1881. Construction of the Denver and Rio
Grande Western Railroad between Denver and Salt Lake City brought the railroad
to within thirty-five miles of Moab at Thompson Springs and provided a
much-desired railroad connection.
A ferry across the Colorado River was in operation by 1885. The first bridge
across the Colorado, a three-span steel bridge, was completed in 1912. By the
first decade of the twentieth century, Moab had developed as one of Utah's
finest fruit-growing areas, producing peaches, apples, and some grapes. Moab
became the county seat when Grand County was created from portions of Emery and
Uintah counties in 1890. Moab was incorporated as a town in January 1903 and
became a third-class city in December 1936.
