I believe I've heard from somewhere that it's tradition at weddings for the ring bearer and the flower girl to dance with each other so yes your right, the photo doesn't automatically mean shipping. On that note, it doesn't mean that they would become a couple, two people can dance with each other and they end up being nothing more but friends afterwards. However there's always a chance that Spike and Sweetie can end up together but I don't want a "love on first sight" kind deal, first I rather see them start being friends with one another for Season 3 or if they're already friends to show their friendship and interactions with each other a bit more visibly.

In the end I would be intrested in how these two would be shipped canonically in the show and eventually have a loving relationship but love takes time, For now I much rather see how their friendship grows, see if they become best friends, and see if that's the push Spike needs in order to able to make more friends within the community of Ponyville than just his six friends who goes off on adventures without him and slightly neglects him while he's somewhat forced in watching over Fluttershy's animals or the library like a shut in.
