H.C.R. No. 202
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, On April 23, 2005, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico and
native Texan Antonio O. Garza, Jr., married Maria Asuncion
Aramburuzabala of Mexico City in Valle de Bravo to the delight of
some 400 honored guests; and
WHEREAS, Appointed to the ambassadorship by President George
W. Bush in 2002, Tony Garza is a former Texas secretary of state and
railroad commissioner who holds an undergraduate degree from The
University of Texas at Austin and a doctor of jurisprudence degree
from Southern Methodist University School of Law; recognized as an
Outstanding Young Texas Ex in 1989 and an SMU Distinguished Alumnus
in 2001, Ambassador Garza has twice been named as one of the "Top
100 Most Influential Hispanics" by Hispanic Business magazine; and
WHEREAS, His bride, who is known to her friends as Mariasun,
is the vice chair of Grupo Modelo, the maker of Corona and Negra
Modelo beers, and is recognized as one of the world's most powerful
women in business; the heiress to the company that was founded by
her grandfather, Ms. Aramburuzabala has been credited with building
up the business and diversifying the family fortune; and
WHEREAS, Ambassador Garza first met Ms. Aramburuzabala at a
party shortly after his appointment to the Mexico post, but they
didn't begin dating until the fall of 2004; they became engaged on
New Year's Eve during a trip to Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca city
high in the Peruvian Andes; and
WHEREAS, Before the civil ceremony in April, the couple
exchanged vows in a small religious service held at a Catholic
church near Mexico City in February 2005; the civil union was part
of a three-day event in the picturesque resort town of Valle de
Bravo, just outside Mexico City, which included several treasured
cultural traditions prevalent on both sides of the border; and
WHEREAS, Ambassador Garza and Ms. Aramburuzabala are indeed
fortunate to have found one another, and it is a pleasure to honor
them as they embark on their journey as husband and wife; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 79th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby congratulate Ambassador Tony Garza and Maria Asuncion
Aramburuzabala on their marriage and extend to them sincere best
wishes for a lifetime of happiness together; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the couple as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives and Senate.
