I think the couple in white are older - mature love reveling in reenacting the daily dedication and nightly adoration of a love that has been tried and found true, enduring and rich, through the vagaries of lifes journey. As they share in the semi-privacy of anonymity and the music weaves around them, each gazes in the other's eyes with joy and remembering.
Is the second couple a pair that have just realized that they are in love and just can't stop talking. Instead of trying to come up with a Pride and Prejudice illustration, I think I will turn to Anne of Green Gables, where you have Anne, who has despised Gilbert since her first day at the Avonlea School, when he called her carrots, because of her red hair. Then several years later she realizes Gilbert is not such a bad guy, and they talk for hours. I see that couple in a similar period in their relationship. They are friends and they have been sitting there, talking for hours. Perhaps one of them (Gilbert, Darcy) feels more strongly, but Anne, or Elizabeth is at the friend's stage, where they can sit and talk about all sorts of things. The other couple is maybe a little more obvious - he has proposed, or she has ( this is the 21st century, after all) and they are still glowing with the idea that they will be life partners.

Great picture, by the way.
