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.

When this area
was known only to the Native Americans, clear
springs gurgled from the banks into the bay. The
springs,
long since gone,
were located along the high bluffs upon which
City Hall and downtown Clearwater are now
situated.
Early settlers
called it Clear Water Harbor, by which it was
known until 1895 when Clearwater became one
word. Harbor
was dropped in
1906.
Spanish explorer Panfilo de Narvaez came to the
Pinellas peninsula in 1528. The exact place he
first stepped is disputed,
but may have been
Clear Water Harbor. Narvaez later perished in a
storm after crossing Florida on foot with a
party of
soldiers.
In 1539, Hernando De Soto landed at Tampa Bay.
He later died near the headwaters of the
Mississippi River. Pedro
Menendez arrived
in 1567 searching for a route across Florida. He
brought 10 missionaries to establish missions
throughout the
area. One of their Jesuit missions was
established at Safety Harbor. Those who remained
with this
mission later
perished in battles with the natives, who had
been mistreated by previous exploration parties.
White
settlers did not
return to this area until the 1800s.
Florida became a territory in 1822. During the
Seminole Indian Wars of 1835, the government
built the original Fort
Harrison as a
recuperation Center for soldiers, and not as a
defensive fort. It was located on the bluffs
where Harbor
Oaks is now. The
fort was abandoned in 1841, and is commemorated
by a plaque on Druid Road in downtown
Clearwater.
The first blacks came to the area with Narvaez's
exploration party. The first white settler was
French Dr. Odet Philippe,
who had served
under Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte. He established
St. Helena Plantation in what is now Safety
Harbor,
and raised
citrus. His daughter married Richard Booth, and
these pioneering families' names are still well
known in
Clearwater.
The Federal Armed Occupation Act of 1842 gave
160 acres to any head of family or single man
over 18 who would
bear arms and
cultivate the land. The "father of Clearwater,"
James Stevens, and Samuel Stevenson were among
the first
settlers. After a visit in 1841, James Parramore
McMullen and his six brothers settled in the
Clearwater
area. They and
their descendants held many important
governmental positions throughout the early
years.
Most settlers farmed vegetables and cotton. Fish
were plentiful. A hurricane in 1846 and a
vicious storm in 1848 were
among the
hardships. The first paper, "The Clear Water
Times," was established by Rev. C.S. Reynolds.
When the first narrow gauge railroad was built
in 1888, the Clear Water Harbor community had
about 18 families. Henry
Plant, the
foremost Central and West Florida developer of
the time, later built a standard gauge railroad
through Pinellas
County. To boost
his passenger business, he built several grand
resort hotels, including the Belleview Biltmore
in 1897.
Clearwater grew steadily throughout the early
part of the century. Tourists and settlers were
drawn to the area because
of the climate
and toutings of early developers and
speculators. The Florida real estate boom began
in earnest in
1921 and peaked
in 1925. The bottom fell out in the bust of
1927, foreshadowing the 1929 market crash and
nationwide
depression.
When the "Pinellas Point" was first settled, it
was Western Hillsborough County. As Clearwater,
Largo, St. Petersburg
and other
communities grew, so did the clamor for
independence. It was a day-long trip to travel
to the courthouse in
Tampa. By act of
the Legislature, Pinellas County was created on
Jan. 1, 1912. Clearwater was the county seat.
The city of Clearwater was incorporated on May
27, 1915. The library was built in 1916 with a
grant from Andrew
Carnegie. In the
same year, the city built the first wooden
bridge to Clearwater Beach, opening it up for
development.
Morton F. Plant,
the son of the illustrious Henry Plant, donated
and raised money for the first hospital in 1914.
