I have to say that I am very excited about the wedding. All of the little finishing details are coming together and the final touches are being made. Although there have been some disappointments (people who can't make it for various reasons) I know that we are all going to have an awesome time. Jason and I are just about to move into a new place in Rohnert Park (a little 2bd 1.5 ba condo) that we are both very excited about. I am finally done with school and have officially started my summer vacation! We look forward to seeing everyone very soon. Don't forget to reserve your rooms and check out our registries! </div><div><br /></div><div>Love ya</div><div>Lisa</div>Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-23636563763553070842009-05-20T13:58:00.000-07:002009-05-20T14:04:57.080-07:00On Month away!we are officially one month and counting people! I am very excited! So quick update here. Life-wise things are really good. I just finished my credential program, am almost done with student teaching, and we are looking for a new place. Jason got a new job in petaluma so we are currently looking for a new place there. Our bachelor/bachelorette parties were great! we had a lot of fun (some more than others I think)! We are really looking forward to seeing everyone at the wedding.<br /><br />XXXOOO<br />LisaLisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-64385587340423050202009-05-12T15:05:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:07:46.237-07:00InvitationsSo if I am not mistaken the invitations should go out this week.

I just wanted to take a minute here to thank Lauren, Mom and Jean for working so hard on the party. A special thanks to Jean for letting us use her house for the festivities. Mom has been super on top of everything throughout this whole time and I really appreciate her input, especially since I don't know anything about anything when it comes to wedding planning. Also thanks to Lauren for stepping up and being a great maid-of-honor and coming through on some of the special surprises we have in store for the shower.<br /><br />Thank you to all you lovely ladies for helping make this whole thing awesome and special.<br /><br />Love you!<br />LisaLisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-41836141820684454372009-03-13T17:19:00.000-07:002009-03-13T17:22:40.675-07:00Hotel Reservations ReduxOk so it sounds like everything is all settled with Stacy at the Hilton Garden Inn in Gilroy. You are now able to reserve rooms at a group rate there for the wedding. Please see the post below for all the relevant information. Remember you have to call the front desk directly (you won't be able to get the group rate via the internet) and you have to ask for the Martinez-Wiedlin Wedding Block. If you have any questions or issues contact me or my mom. Keep checking back for updates as the BIG DAY draws near. Check out the links on the right side of the blog for other useful websites as well!<br /><br />See you all very soon!<br />LisaLisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-62759493728050867012009-03-08T17:53:00.000-07:002009-03-08T17:57:04.609-07:00Music makes the world go roundSo we finally booked a DJ this weekend. His name is Norman Anub. He is a San Jose native (went to Overfelt high school as a kid) and came very highly recommended by Debbie Sanchez, our coordinator at Fortino. He seems very nice, organized, and thorough. He had a big questionnaire that asked us all sorts of questions like Where did we meet? How did Jason propose? What were things we liked and didn't like about DJ's we had seen at weddings and other functions? He was very intereted in the kind of mood we wanted to create. He also said that it is important for him to know all this so that he could determine whether it was a good fit between us. Overall, I was very impressed and it gave me a whole new wave of exitement about the whole thing! Check out Norman at his website and tell me he doesn't seem awesome!<br /><br />More to come so visit often.<br /><br />LisaLisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-45769458643979573682009-03-04T13:07:00.000-08:002009-03-04T13:09:20.561-08:00ConfusionHi everyone. I guess there has been some confusion regarding the hotel reservations. I think it was my fault. I jumped the gun a little by posting the information about the group rate before my mom had finished filling out paperwork and negotiating with them. As a result, people have been trying to reserve rooms but not getting the discount. Please bear with me while I sort this out. Check back in about a week for more information. Hopefully, everything will be up and running by then!<br /><br />thanks!<br />Love ya!Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-23460961131717587522009-02-17T14:16:00.000-08:002009-02-17T14:23:38.072-08:00Hotel ReservationsHi everyone. I have some really important information about reserving rooms for the wedding. We have made arrangements with the Hilton Garden Inn Gilroy for a group rate on single and double occupancy rooms. The group rate is <span style="font-weight: bold;">$119 per night (plus any applicable taxes)</span>. Guest must call the front desk at <span style="font-weight: bold;">(408) 840-7000</span> and ask for the <span style="font-style: italic;">Martinez-Wiedlin Wedding Block</span>. There are currently 7 single occupancy rooms and 8 double occupancy rooms available. If those rooms get booked they will release more as needed. Rooms need to be reserved by June 1, 2009, otherwise they will be released. Please visit the <a href="http://www.hiltongardeninn.com/en/gi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=SJCGHGI">Hilton's website</a> for more information about the hotel and their amenities. Other hotels are available in the area as well if you would like to book elsewhere. However, group rates have not been arranged with any other hotel. Don't delay! Make your reservations ASAP!!<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span><b style=""><i style=""><u><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: red;"><br /></span></u></i></b>Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-87851204664546351862009-02-16T17:59:00.000-08:002009-02-16T18:01:43.704-08:00Update 2/16/09So a quick update. After a very lovely and productive Valentine's Day weekend, I have now ordered shower invites and created rough drafts of the actual wedding invites. Mom and I also negotiated some group rates for the Hilton in Gilroy. I will have more information about that when we get everything settled. Keep checking back for updates as things start moving closer to the BIG DAY!!Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-28214773857505962262008-11-25T15:05:00.000-08:002008-11-25T15:15:00.949-08:00UpdatesWith school, work, and the holidays coming up I guess I have been slacking on the blog here a little bit. So here are some updates. This last weekend I finally got to try on my dress and take it home with me! I will be doing some fittings later on but it is really exciting to finally have the dress in hand (although it is actually residing at my parents house for safekeeping). I found some awesome red shoes to go with the dress and I love them! We ordered the veil while we were there too. I was also able to book the <a href="http://www.stemsfloralboutique.com/index.html">florist</a> and the <a href="http://www.jgiphotography.com/">photographer</a>. We decided to go with local people for both. The best part is that both Diana (the florist) and Jesus (the photographer) have worked with Fortino's before so they know what to expect and have a working relationship with them! Although Jesus is just starting out doing weddings the pictures I have seen are beautiful and he describes his style as more candid than formal. His background is in sports photography so I am hoping that will translate into great authentic pictures for the wedding. Diana is obviously passionate about what she does and knows how to create the look we want for the ceremony and reception: simple and elegant. I am looking forward to working with them!<br /><br />Until next time,<br />Happy Thanksgiving everyone!Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-24882473554837821662008-10-29T15:34:00.000-07:002008-10-29T15:41:26.395-07:00Venue InformationSo for those of you who don't know or who are not familiar with the area, I wanted to post a link to <a href="http://fortinowinery.com/">Fortino Winery</a> website. There you can see what the venue will look like and find out a little about the winery. The people that we have been talking to have been great! It is a very family oriented business and the atmosphere is sophisticated without being stuffy. We are looking into reserving a block of rooms at one of the hotels nearby. I will post information on that when we get that settled.Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-25131670972786834352008-10-13T13:38:00.000-07:002008-10-13T13:41:15.991-07:00Unfortunately...I just heard from Jason that the Berkeley Wiedlins (Andy, Harue, Elena, Karina, and Ko) will be in Europe during the wedding! So sad! :-( Jason said that they booked their trip the day before the Save the Date card arrived at their house! Talk about bad luck! We will certainly miss their presence but I wish them a fun and exciting trip. I'm actually a little jealous to be honest...hehe.Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-82487073465188109882008-10-10T15:55:00.000-07:002008-10-10T16:12:10.190-07:00Wedding Party<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrmmAwMKcsy5guvwr8doIn2Getoy6aa_MOPvW1qsxxTSDtBpkwrUlT-R12ko9Rf11h7PfJ7LQKasCx-WsSUVfFlYDOqJxdRIZnK4rhFp4E6arkEVUgSw0604gxqU4n3QAqAeGgVY6PMCTL/s1600-h/jason+lisa+and+bob+bev.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrmmAwMKcsy5guvwr8doIn2Getoy6aa_MOPvW1qsxxTSDtBpkwrUlT-R12ko9Rf11h7PfJ7LQKasCx-WsSUVfFlYDOqJxdRIZnK4rhFp4E6arkEVUgSw0604gxqU4n3QAqAeGgVY6PMCTL/s200/jason+lisa+and+bob+bev.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255664349734238626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0AvbkehpCY8vnyoJtBtCipuDk9EEAIYvwD6fDJ8EAIo2ujDVRf4tGbagimF0bgkYYnRVTDeVAsvye6uN-2HsQ3UAAfuZKPuPETTRrZYjZRfs4rHIvCi-VN72BygtmVnBIyDztLa-CDFDQ/s1600-h/jason+robby.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0AvbkehpCY8vnyoJtBtCipuDk9EEAIYvwD6fDJ8EAIo2ujDVRf4tGbagimF0bgkYYnRVTDeVAsvye6uN-2HsQ3UAAfuZKPuPETTRrZYjZRfs4rHIvCi-VN72BygtmVnBIyDztLa-CDFDQ/s200/jason+robby.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255664351463962578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTFbSjDqdiJiIPtDTpHse5qg8sshEJbDa7xY9kXbQlcJiSx_z2M_ZSsACENCnZhXdOp5xBWy2Koj1eo87lynbQ7-qkSlv-c3AjkbTxVK8QrMegXZNO8AC2oVfYCcVfDyLVfdLfedyYcIp/s1600-h/me+katie+and+kelly.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTFbSjDqdiJiIPtDTpHse5qg8sshEJbDa7xY9kXbQlcJiSx_z2M_ZSsACENCnZhXdOp5xBWy2Koj1eo87lynbQ7-qkSlv-c3AjkbTxVK8QrMegXZNO8AC2oVfYCcVfDyLVfdLfedyYcIp/s200/me+katie+and+kelly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255664352283533618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDFbleJsTQ_gtN6JLjj3D_1KVOEtZeV2zaId8MdboSpGYiHqxrEw88gVRGbqc4W3-WzyDR_UhPojAMKLhd57IRpkYtureYquKdK8sk70_MxOfT20-1IdNvyfgsq4iSd5RuK-O4bbOzKM3U/s1600-h/family.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDFbleJsTQ_gtN6JLjj3D_1KVOEtZeV2zaId8MdboSpGYiHqxrEw88gVRGbqc4W3-WzyDR_UhPojAMKLhd57IRpkYtureYquKdK8sk70_MxOfT20-1IdNvyfgsq4iSd5RuK-O4bbOzKM3U/s200/family.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255664233998007282" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I guess I should let you know who is in the wedding party huh?<br /><br />Well we decided to keep it simple and have only one attendant each.<br /><br />Jason's best man will be his brother Robby Wiedlin.<br /><br />My Maid-of honor will be my sister Lauren Martinez.<br /><br />My cousin Katie will be a junior bridesmaid, her sister Kelly is the flowergirl and Jason's cousin Ko is our ring-bearer.<br /><br />My dad Rick will be walking me down the aisle and Daniel Appelbaum will be our officiant.Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-19705159863517774162008-10-10T15:44:00.001-07:002008-10-10T15:55:11.000-07:00Registry Information<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ouroneheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/wedding_registry.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.ouroneheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/wedding_registry.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We are currently in the process of opening up some gift registries. Of course we only request your presence at our wedding but I know that most people will want to give us a token of their affection. To make it easier on you, we have set up registries at <a href="http://macys.weddingchannel.com/catalog/fds/macysDivisionalHome.action?cm_mmc=mcom-_-home-_-h1-_-none">Macy's</a>, <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/regHome.asp?order_num=-1">Bed, Bath and Beyond</a>, and <a href="http://thebigday.com/">TheBigDay.com</a>. The first two are traditional registries which can be accessed by clicking on the links or by going to a local store. The third is a honeymoon registry. Like a traditional registry, there is an itemized list of gifts, however, the difference is that instead of giving a toaster or something, you would be giving us activities to do on our honeymoon. If you don't know, Jason and I are going to Hawaii and will be staying at Kahana Beach Resort in Maui. There are many wonderful things to do in Hawaii like snorkeling, hiking, eating at gourmet restaurants, etc. Your gifts from the honeymoon registry will help us make our trip exciting and memorable. For example, you can purchase a romantic dinner for two at a five star restaurant nearby or a snorkeling adventure on a catamaran. There are many options to choose from and each gift will ensure that our first few days of wedded bliss will be filled with excitement and romance. If you have any questions about the registries please contact the maid-of-honor or the Mother of the Bride.Lisa and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823489502235951151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075721930597507841.post-62808590579963025802008-10-10T15:26:00.000-07:002008-10-10T16:03:50.581-07:00Wedding BlogSo I decided to create a blog that I will use to communicate with my family and friends about our upcoming wedding.
