Vanessa Minnillo, Lachey for winter wedding?

Vanessa Minnillo has indicated that she and fiancé Nick Lachey have taken to the idea of getting married in the winter.

In November 2010, the pair became engaged after Lachey proposed to the True Beauty host on a California beach.

Lachey later referred to the proposal as "a perfect moment".

Minnillo has now suggested that she and the former 98 Degrees singer have yet to set a definite date for the wedding because of their hectic work schedules.

"For us, work is important," she told People. "It's our creative outlet, it's what keeps us going, it keeps us busy, and we want to be sure that we work around that."

The star went on to say that she has recently become enchanted with the idea of her and Lachey tying the knot in a winter ceremony.

She explained: "[There's] something about winter, it's one of my favourite seasons, it's very romantic. The twinkle lights and the greenery and the snow... We'll figure it out."

Last month, Lachey disclosed that plans for his wedding to Minnillo are coming "slowly but surely".
