To the best of my knowledge, neither my husband nor myself is entitled to bear arms. That has not, however, prevented me from looking up the various arms which have been associated with each of our surnames (Hess & Weber), choosing ones to my liking, and creating an armorial for us from them. :-)

The arms I have created for us would be blazoned thus:

Parted per pale, baron and femme; first, argent on a fess wavy between in chief two martlets volant and in base a wolf passant on a mound azure, a bezant between two mullets of the field [Hess]; second, gules an increscent moon argent [Weber].

Translated into standard English, that would be:

Divided in two vertically, husband and wife; on the left – on a silver background, on a horizontal band with wavy edges between two birds flying above and a wolf walking on a hill below, all blue, a gold circle between two silver stars; on the right – on a red background a silver crescent moon pointing to the left.

Below are graphics of these arms, in color on the left and correctly represented in black and white hatching on the right.
