Kris Scharoun-DeForge and Paul DeForge, a couple with Down syndrome who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on August 13, 2018. Kris met Paul at a dance in 1988 and she knew she had found the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. According to USA Today, Kris remembered that moment and said, “I looked into Paul’s eyes and saw my future.” After dating for five years, they decided to get married. “I proposed to him. I whispered in his ear, “Would you marry me?” And he looked up at me with this big beautiful smile and he shook his head “Yes!” And that’s when I knew. He got me laughing, he was the one for me,” said Kris to CBS. Paul passed away from complications of dementia at the age of 56 less than a year after their 25th anniversary. Even during Paul’s last moments, as his memory faded, his face would brighten up when he saw his wife and her overall presence would calm him.
