Julie & Doug
Wedding Party
Ana Searles
Maid of Honor
Ana and I met Freshman year of college (2003) when we lived down the hall from each other in Miller Dorm Room, Bentley College. We would say hi when we bumped into each other in the hallway, and somehow Ana would regularly trick me into going to her dorm room just to turn her light off....we had a lot of laughs in college and knew we'd be lifelong friends! Living together in CT after graduation was our next adventure, and our friendship outlasted multiple moves (including other states). I gave Ana a hard time for not introducing me to Doug herself since they work together, but I still give her partial credit for creating a connection and bond over a mutual friend at the bar that night. I stood by Ana's side at her wedding and can't wait to have her by mine!
Jason Reich
Best Man
Jason and I met as co-workers back in 2010, a year or so after I had moved to Cleveland. Despite Jason being a proud Northeastern Ohio native, and me being from the Pittsburgh area (and a Steelers fan), we became fast friends, finding common ground in our love of the Buckeyes who we would discuss at length after work over mountains of wings and ice cold Dortmunder Gold at Quikky’s. Today, Jason resides in Nashville with his beautiful wife, Kristina, and their two terrific kids, Alexander (“A-Train”) and Liliana (our Goddaughter). While we still love to give each other a hard time over sports, our golf swings, and really anything that could possibly be made into a competition, I am lucky to count Jason as one of my closest friends and can’t wait to have him by my side on the big day.
