The'groom is the son of John Michael and the late Agnes Washlick. A University of Rhode Island grad, he holds a bachelor of science in accounting. The newlyweds have moved to California, where Mr. Washlick is attending the School of Law of California South Western University. However, before making their move to the West Coast, the young Washlicks took out UNA insurance policies through Branch 347 of Millville.
