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.

Breckenridge,
Colorado History- The land now occupied as
Breckenridge was originally the hunting ground
of the Dakota (Sioux) and Ojibway (Chippewa)
Indian Nations. Countless herds of buffalo
roamed the area. In 1851 Indian treaties opened
up this land for settlement by the white man.
On January 29, 1857, an expedition of ten men
reached the future site of Breckenridge
Minnesota Territory. Speculators focused on this
site because earlier explorations had shown a
river began here which was the only river in the
whole territory flowing north for such a great
distance. This river is the Red River of the
North which has its headwaters at Breckenridge
and is the longest north-flowing river in the
United States.
On January 31, 1857, in one of the worst winters
Minnesota Territory has ever known, the platting
of Breckenridge began with hand compass and tape
line chain. A huge city -- containing 2,500
acres, 18 full blocks -- ran east and west, 36
blocks north and south and several parks.
Speculators held the town by occupation against
other speculators.
The town was named for John C. Breckinridge,
Vice President of the United States. The "i" in
his name became an "e" for an unexplained
reason. On the original plat, however, it is
spelled correctly with the "i."
On August 23, 1862, Breckenridge was destroyed
and burned by Sioux Indians. If the Indian
uprising and Civil War had not intervened,
Breckenridge might today well be another
Chicago, as the speculators envisioned.
October 25, 1871, however, brought the St. Paul
and Pacific Railroad to Breckenridge and real
development of the town began. Breckenridge had
essentially been a river town from its founding
in 1857. Now it became a railroad village and
the distribution point for the entire
surrounding area.
Today Breckenridge is an agricultural based
community - home of a very proud heritage.
