Scott + Madeline | Elberfeld Mini Film Engagement Session

Scott and Madeline had been dating a little over 4 years, first getting to know each other just walking around for hours at the indoor track at USI. One day Scott had brought up the idea of racing a 400 meter dash just to see what time he and Madeline could finish it in and of course because of Madeline’s competitive side she said yes! So on May 23rd after work, the two met at Memorial track and headed to the starting line. Scott was in lane 1 and Madeline was in lane 2 and since it was a staggered start Madeline was in front of him. When Madeline asked him who would say go, Scott said he would. She was ready to go when he said ready.. set.. and then he didn’t say anything so Madeline turned around and said your saying go right? Scott said yes, so she’s ready for the second attempt to start. Again Scott said ready.. set.. and then didn’t say go again so she turned around and Scott said he was going to get his track bag to use as a starting block. So not thinking anything of it Madeline said okay to this third attempt! Again Scott said ready.. set.. and she turned around wondering what’s taking so long and there he was right behind her with a little green box in his hand! She couldn’t believe it and Scott said so many romantic things about how the track was where it all started for the two of them and this will be the starting line for the rest of their lives. Then Scott got down on one knee and said “Madeline Rose Kissel will you marry me?” Of course she said yes and she nearly tackled him out of pure excitement! After letting it all sink in and celebrating, Madeline asked him if they could still run the 400 and they did! Scott won but they were both winners after that day, a day they will never forget!
