Josh proposed to me four years ago today. It was such a wonderful day and one that I never would have guessed for it to end the way it did. For those of you who have come into our lives since our engagement and/or wedding, here is the short version of the proposal story that we included in our Christmas cards that year... that Josh - he is somthing else!!
The Broken Road Mission, tied into their favorite song – Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts - began at his school after driving the two hours to Northern Virginia. Darci thought she and Diane were meeting Josh for dinner, but she was quickly surprised when she was told he left school already. The school staff provided Darci with a box full of items - a map, mission book, the key to his apartment building, camera, video camera, batteries, money and food... all to aid in the Broken Road Mission. Josh taped himself the night before and provided Darci with her mission on video.
On the way to each destination, Diane would read special notes to Darci which were included in the mission book. After leaving his school, Darci, with Diane’s assistance, drove from there to Josh’s apartment to their favorite breakfast spot, then through Old Town Alexandria to Gravelly Point – a place of many special memories. From there, it was on to the final destination – the Washington Harbour in Georgetown, the place where Josh and Darci went with their mutual friend Wendy (the matchmaker) upon meeting each other in March 2004.
As Darci and Diane arrived, Josh was standing on the boardwalk by the Potomac River near the very spot where Josh and Darci were that wonderful night eight months ago. Soon after spotting Josh, Darci approached him, while Diane watched with a camera in hand. Nearly three hours later and the Broken Road Mission complete, Josh proposed to Darci. And of course, she said yes!
Ahhh the memories!!
