May I Have This Dance?

Oh, you know when you want to capture a moment in time and hold onto it forever? This is one of those moments.
Paige and Nathan have been good friends for three years. During the second year of their friendship, they talked of marriage...yes, marriage. They both attend Harmony School. Over the years, I, as well as many others, have been touched by the closeness of these two. They hold hands, sit close to each other, give each other the "googly" eyes and protect and/or defend each other with their other little friends. Last year, Nathan would often tell us of the house he was going to build for the two of them.
Now to THE moment I want to hold onto forever.
When Paige was over recently for a play date, they were talking about dancing. Paige is taking "Twinkle Toes", a ballet-like class, at Harmony School. The next thing I know, Nathan has run upstairs and changed into his suit (it looks like it is moving in the photo, Luke commented it was probably Nathan's feelings for Paige that made his suit look like it is vibrating :-) and Paige is teaching him how to dance like a gentleman.
Paige instructed Nathan to get down on his knee and look up into Paige's eyes and ask with an English accent (Why English, I haven't a clue...maybe my friends with little girls can tell me :-) "May I please have this dance?" Paige then gives a small curtsy and smiles down to Nathan and responds "Why, of course you may have this dance." Then Nathan stands, and here you see the beginning of their dance together. What a keepsake moment!
Now, I have a confession of my own to make. I will be keeping track of this photo because I think it will be perfect to display at their wedding reception some day :-).
