Kris and Paul DeForge, both born with Down syndrome, met at a dance in the 1980s — a chance encounter that blossomed into a love many doubted but few could deny. Their bond was undeniable, their joy infectious. After years of proving their devotion, they married in 1993, breaking barriers and rewriting what society thought possible. They became one of the first couples with Down syndrome to wed, showing the world that love is not bound by limitations, but lifted by them. ✨

For 25 years, their marriage was filled with simple yet profound joys: bowling nights, dancing together, summers in the Adirondacks, and the quiet comfort of knowing they had each other. Through every season, their love only grew stronger.

When Paul faced the painful challenges of early dementia, Kris never wavered. She remained by his side with the same devotion she had promised on their wedding day. Hand in hand, they faced life’s hardest chapters until Paul passed away at 56 🕊️.

Their love story continues to shine as an inspiration — proof that true love is not measured by time, nor defined by obstacles, but by the courage to choose each other every single day. 🌈💞
