Michelle & Dennis: Piedmont Community Church | Boundary Oak
When we first met Michelle and Dennis, Ray and I had the best feeling about them. They're both so warm and down-to-earth -- our favorite type of people.
We hear lots of proposal stories, and I think their story might top everyone! Last year, Michelle and Dennis were visiting her family ranch in Montana. A small lake is adjacent to the ranch, and Dennis took Michelle swimming in the lake. He pointed to something at the bottom of the lake, swam down, and brought up a treasure chest with her engagement ring inside of it! How about that as a surprise proposal!
Michelle and Dennis were married at the gorgeous Piedmont Community Church, and their reception was held at Boundary Oak in Walnut Creek.
