No, to say, "I will always find you" is clearly a Snowing thing, and when she said it, I didn't like it because it felt like she was trying too much to be like her parents. The love Emma and Hook have for each other isn't the same as Snow and Charming. I'm not saying it's not a deep love, but it has a different weight and feel to it. That's what makes both loves unique, and that they don't need to be the same. When has OUaT been known for its subtlety?

While there have been many parallels between Snowing, and CaptainSwan in the past. This one took it way too far. Like you said, the two relationships are very different. Snowing have a classic storybook romance, and are now an old married couple. Whereas, CaptainSwan is a modern version of a fairytale, still in the prossess of being told.
