  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.

Payson, Arizona- "Before Payson was established as a townsite, it was called Green Valley. Bill St.

John settled four miles south of Green Valley in 1978. When asked why he ran goats, he told Lewis

Pyle, 'Well, I used to have a little herd of milk cows

and a few head of range cows, but I could never keep them from drifting into Green Valley and those

damn cowboys were always roping them, so I went to goats.' St. John further told Lewis Pyle that

cattle from all over the country just seemed to migrate into Green Valley and it was the primary hold

up grounds (roundup camp) in the area, not only because of its central location to the local ranches,

but also because, 'the water and grass in Green Valley just seemed to lure the cattle in.”

“The mountain town of Payson, Arizona has often been omitted from articles pursuant to the origins of

the sport of rodeo. This is not surprising because from its beginning in 1882, until after the completion

of the Beeline Highway in 1958, Payson was one of the most remote settlements in the west, hidden

from the world in the upper reaches of the Tonto Basin."

"A few of the ranchers in the Payson area by 1880 included Sam, Bill and Andrew Houston, John

Meadows and sons, Henry Siddles, Bill Graig, John and Frank Hise (father and son), William Burch,

and Paul Vogel. Andrew Pyeatt and others in the Marysville settlement, west of Payson, had cattle and

took part in the Green Valley roundups. Also Joe Gibson moved his cattle from Rye to Round Valley in

1879, and Rial Allen was running cattle on the East Verde River that same year."

"The entire Tonto Basin, as well as most of Arizona, was open range. The Rim Country ranchers in the

upper Tonto Basin let their cattle roam free, so that cattle belonging to each rancher mixed with those

of his neighbors. Each year a general roundup was held with cowboys and ranchers driving the cattle

to a common roundup camp where calves were branded with their owner’s brand. Green Valley (later

Payson) became the natural hub of activity for the local cowboys and ranchers. It was just as natural

for friendly competition and rivalries to develop among the ranchers and cowboys as to who was

handiest with a rope, the most skilled bronc rider, or who had the fastest horse. In this manner,

contests were born as an extension of the Green Valley cowboy lifestyle. Cowboys tested skills born

of necessity against those of their neighbors’. Soon bets were laid down as to who was the best at

a particular skill and the sport of rodeo was born, although it would not be known by name for many years."

"Thus, it could be reasonably argued that there were rodeos held in Payson before it existed as a

town site! But, the 1884 Celebration is the one that launched the Payson Rodeo as an annual event,

and has been known ever since as the - World's Oldest Continuous Rodeo."
