SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 119



	WHEREAS, On June 19, 2005, Thomas Ehlers and Allison Becker 

were united in marriage in Sayville, New York, much to the delight

of all who know them; and

	WHEREAS, Natives of New York, Thomas and Allison met while 

working for a Scholastic Aptitude Test prep business, where they 

tutored high school students preparing to take the famed college 

entrance examination; and

	WHEREAS, Tom, who is also known as "Caveman," is a graduate 

of Princeton University and is now prospering as the owner of his 

own Scholastic Aptitude Test prep business; his new wife is an 

alumnus of the University of Michigan; and

	WHEREAS, The couple's engagement began on a Florida beach 

on a night so cold and windy that Tom's bended-knee proposal went 

mostly unheard, partly due to Mother Nature's cacophony, but also 

because of Allison's persistent complaining about the inclement 

weather; the sight of the engagement ring quickly rectified the 

situation, however, and it has been smooth sailing ever since; 

and

	WHEREAS, The marriage of two people is a joyous event that 

marks the beginning of a union filled with limitless possibilities,

and it is a privilege to honor Tom and Allison as they embark on a 

bright and promising future together; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

79th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate

Thomas Ehlers and Allison Becker on their recent marriage and 

extend best wishes to them for much happiness and success in all 

their endeavors; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be 

prepared for Tom and Allison as an expression of high regard from 

the Texas Senate.

                                                                           Janek
