Yes but it can be rather cheesy at times and clumsily written at times.

This may sound stupid but it sort of reminds me of Disney's version of Beauty and the Beast ? They start off hating each other, fighting, not getting along, both of them feeling like they want to escape from each other but they can't-

Then Squall saves her life and protects her during the Parade and then Rinoa realizes that Squall isn't such a jerkass git after all, he's just a bit closed off and anti-social and he does have a heart, just prefers to keep it closed and then they get closer and closer together while spending time together and then thus it becomes a serious relationship.

Expect the ball room happens first and not near the end.
