It's snowing AGAIN!

Thank goodness.
Why? Because we need a winter photo together with snow!
James L. Amos for Nat'l Geo. 1978, Dearborn MI
We've been meaning to take a winter photo of us together while we're engaged so that we can have a "seasonal-bunnies" collage matted in place of a guestbook at the wedding. Every time it's been snowing here the wind is too high to take a nice picture. Your hair is either all over in the wind or your nose gets red and drippy after 5 minutes outside. Purty.
I almost thought it wouldn't happen after all our snow melted last week so I am very happy for snow.  
Our matte's photo will be laid out in this way, but each photo will be of us from that time of year.
We haven't decided which color the matte should be. I don't think white will work. Maybe a light blue? Or yellow with Shawn's paper-tie-dye technique overdyed? We'll see... He will have to be dying a lot of stuff for the wedding.
The man is a master tie-dyer so naturally I wouldn't have anyone else dye my crinoline yellow for my dress, nor would I have anyone else dye the backdrop sheet for our photobooth. He just has such an eye for dispersal and color combinations. People ask him if he buys his shirts. NOPE! He dyes them himself with his hands.
He also takes rad photos!
You can see some of his stuff here and here. That's my leg by the way... lol.
He also colors with colored pencil so deep and so even that it looks like laser jet printing. So he will also be coloring in our DIY Marriage Certificate. He's a groom who is involved in the wedding because he wants to be, much to my delight!
