R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, November 3, 2007, will indeed be a special day for
  Neesha Ishwar Dave and Jeffre Ward Rotkoff, for on that day they
  will embark on a new life together as husband and wife; and
         WHEREAS, Ms. Dave and Mr. Rotkoff will exchange their wedding
  vows in Austin, bringing together their proud parents, Uma and
  Ishwar Dave and Libby and Steve Rotkoff, other relatives, and many
  friends to witness this important milestone in their lives; and
         WHEREAS, The groom, who currently serves as deputy director
  of the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee, has previously
  worked as a field representative and assistant field director for
  Congressman Chet Edwards and as chief of staff for Representative
  Marc Veasey during the 79th Texas legislative session; his fiance
  was an intern for former Representative John Mabry during the 78th
  Texas legislative session and went on to serve as a legislative
  assistant and campaign field director before joining Texas Watch,
  where she now holds the title of grassroots director; and
         WHEREAS, Both graduates of The University of Texas at Austin,
  they began dating in 2004 and were engaged on August 13, 2006;
  carrying on an unintentional family tradition, Mr. Rotkoff handed
  Ms. Dave an heirloom engagement ring once presented in a similar
  fashion by his father to his mother and casually "popped the
  question" while the two were driving down "scenic" Airport
  Boulevard in East Austin; and
         WHEREAS, The marriage of Ms. Dave and Mr. Rotkoff will mark a
  profound deepening of a relationship that has grown in love,
  respect, and mutual regard with each passing day, and their
  engagement is a source of great pleasure to their family and
  friends; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Neesha Ishwar Dave and Jeffre Ward
  Rotkoff on their upcoming wedding and extend to them warmest best
  wishes for a lifetime of happiness; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Dave and Mr. Rotkoff as an expression of high
  regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
