lasting regard that these two young Texans share have continued to
grow, and it is indeed a pleasure to honor this fortunate couple;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Tabbetha DuBois and Austin Powers
on the joyous occasion of their wedding and extend to them warmest
best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together; and, be it further
