You can only see the woman's costume; it is old fashion and this elicits the fact that this was set a long time ago. Also, the fact that no dramatic makeup is used connotes that this was set in the past as they didn't wear much makeup back then. the fact that there aren't any props helps the audience to focus on the actual characters and what is going on. Both of the characters are smiling; this connotes that they are happy and it continues the theme of love and relationships as they both seem happy together.
