1-1                          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 923

        1-2           WHEREAS, On June 14, 1997, Susanna Jean De La Garza and

        1-3     Scott Jamison Brown will embark on a new and exciting journey in

        1-4     their life together when they are united as husband and wife at

        1-5     Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dallas; and

        1-6           WHEREAS, The decision to enter into marriage is a profound

        1-7     and powerful expression of two people's commitment to one another,

        1-8     and the lifelong fulfillment of this sacred vow is one of the most

        1-9     meaningful experiences possible; and

       1-10           WHEREAS, Though the seriousness of the occasion cannot be

       1-11     doubted, a wedding is also a joyous affirmation of the love of two

       1-12     individuals for each other and for God; the tradition of a public

       1-13     ceremony springs from the heartfelt desire to share this love with

       1-14     others, and the celebration of marriage nurtures and strengthens

       1-15     not only husband and wife but also their friends, family, and

       1-16     community; and

       1-17           WHEREAS, Mr. Brown and Miss De La Garza have been blessed

       1-18     with a relationship that has grown steadily in mutual respect,

       1-19     affection, and understanding, and they enter married life with

       1-20     a sound foundation on which their relationship may continue to

       1-21     thrive; now, therefore, be it

       1-22           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

       1-23     75th Legislature, hereby congratulate Susanna Jean De La Garza

        2-1     and Scott Jamison Brown on the occasion of their wedding and

        2-2     extend to them sincere best wishes for continued happiness in

        2-3     the years to come.

        2-4                                                                  Carona
