Cultures blend to create a beautiful Wedding Ceremony

Nelson gives his new Father-in-law, Rick, a “high ?ve” as he and Ashley leave Rick & Cheryl Mikoletic of Columbia Station are pleased to announce the marriage of
Severance Hall with his new Mother-in-law, Cheryl, watching. their daughter, Ashley Marie, to Nelson Kimwah Cheng, son of Alfred & Marina Cheng of
Bayside, New York. The couple was married on May 29th at Severance Hall in
Cleveland. The bride’s uncle, Pastor Richard Keaton of Longwood, FL, of?ciated the
ceremony.

The wedding party included: Matron of Honor Cheryl Mikoletic, mother of the
bride; Maid of Honor Amanda Kleschick; Bridesmaids Teela Mikoletic, Courtney Carnes,
Mackenzie Keaton, Liliana Cheng, Erin Gross, Krystal Hamman, Jennifer Diederich
and Sarah Bachmann; Best Man Austin Cheng; Groomsmen Mitch Mikoletic, Ryan

Michael Grimner and Joseph Nappi; Ushers Samer Cheng, Chad Keaton and Lance
Boise; Greeters Macy Clayton & Ruth Corcoran; and Reader Kristi Hendricks. Proud
grandparents are Lloyd & Betty Keaton of Grafton.

Since the majority of the guests were staying at the Wyndham Cleveland at
Playhouse Square, they were ushered back & forth to the ceremony via Lolly the Trolley,
with a short guided tour of Cleveland. Guests were in from Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and
Tennessee.

The reception was held across the street from the Wyndham, at the Union Club
of Cleveland. During cocktail hour, the Bride changed into a traditional Chinese
wedding dress, known as the Qun Kua, to greet the guests. The dress was a gift from
her Mother-in-law upon her returning from a trip to Hong Kong. The highlight of the
reception was The Ohio State University’s Lion Dance Team, who put on a spectacular
show for the guests. After returning to New York, the couple enjoyed a 2-week
honeymoon to Sri Lanka and Maldives.

Ashley is a 2003 graduate of Columbia High School, a 2006 graduate of the
Fashion Institute of Technology and a 2007 graduate of Ursuline College. She works
with Brooklyn Based as the Events Manager for their wedding related events and is the
Office Manager for Justin Paul, Inc., a handbag manufacturer in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. Nelson is the Director of Operations for Gramercy Surgery Center, located both
