Engaged
Marrying in May ongratulations to Daniel Arthur Brandt of Brentwood and Antoniette Crystal Gallo on their engagement. Daniel proposed to Antoniette on Oct. 9, 2010 at beautiful Sutter Creek. Daniel’s family, owners of Bill Brandt Ford in Brentwood, was in attendance. Antoniette’s 6-year-old son Steven was included in Daniel’s proposal to his mom. When Daniel made his speech to Steven, he then got down on one knee and proposed to Antoniette. The couple has not been able to set a wedding date due to Daniel being stationed at the Air Force base in Japan, and is not sure when he will be sent home. Antoniette is currently working in the medical field. Best of luck to them both and we hope for Daniel’s safe return!
