Their Spot

This weekend's Trifextra Writing Challenge is to come up with 33 words inspired by the photo below. Restrictions: no creepy, dark stuff allowed.
 
Read about this amazing photo project: http://eirikso.com/2011/01/04/one-year-in-one-image/

Leaves snapped beneath them.
"Can I see you again?" He asked.

Snowflakes poured through unadorned branches.
"I'm pregnant," she announced.

Warm rain danced against the white tent.
"I do," their baby girl vowed.

      Thanks, Freya! Actually, I intended it to be the same couple from first date to their daughter's wedding, but I do like the idea of that spot being a special place for different people, families, etc. It definitely could be interpreted that way, too. :)
