In an app quite renowned for flings,

Two souls matched, 'mongst other things.

They found common ground,

In dog pics it was found,

And so began the romance of kings.

Chris and Paul on a path sweetly laid,

At Aeronaut, memories were first made.

On Mother's Day meet,

Chemistry ever so sweet,

Bound by roots that would never fade.

Margaritas, the site of date two,

Bacardi pops, cocktails, and brew.

Both enjoying the drink,

And the way that they think,

Oh, this love felt refreshingly new!

Laika met Paul with a happy dog's grace,

As the duo found their romantic space.

Mojo pork, pozole delight,

Cooking and eating all through the night,

In each other, contentment did trace.

At La Bodega, Paul met Lisa and Brad,

The service was slow, but food wasn’t half bad.

To Osterville, they'd steer,

In St. Timothy, cheer,

A magical trip, oh what fun they had!

After the trip, seriousness took its hold,

From Barat to Riverside stories were told.

Moved in together, then suddenly apart,

Yet still so close in each heart,

Their love did gradually grow bold.

Then a sunny 4th of July, with fireworks above,

In Ocean City, Paul embraced by Lyons’ love.

Sharon’s dinners, all too good to pick,

It seemed things were getting quite serious, quite quick,

A union slowly sculpting, fitted like a glove.

Tours and tomorrows in Raleigh's NC,

Shared experiences blossomed with glee.

Sammy, protestors, and the unfortunate Jeep attack,

Yet, their love found no lack,

They persevered, strong as the rooted banyan tree.

Meeting families and friends across states,

With Catherine, Clara, Doug, dinner plates.

Through strange events and quests,

Meeting Cooper, Eric, Katie, Chris’s guests,

Boston and CA, twining their fates.

Trips, concerts, and Super Bowl streams,

San Diego, Santa Barbara, in their dreams.

Then came the day,

In October, to say,

Hello to the Moore family, under wedding beams.

Journeys and moves, a whirlwind ensued,

Relocation to the Bay Area, life was anewed.

Paul joined in July,

At Nueva, time did fly,

And their love, constantly renewed.

Island birthdays and concerts so cool,

Cooking slops much better than gruel!

From Conley's to Holy Water’s sight,

Food and fun every single night,

Their love blossoming, a sparkling jewel.

In Chris’s kindness and in Paul's sass,

Their essences merged with a splendid contrast.

Traveling, celebrating, cherishing the 'we',

From Catalina to Maui, as content as can be,

In traditions and memories, their love so vast.

A myriad of adventure, music, and flair,

With tales of travels, a couple so rare.

Honoring love, food, and deep sleep tight,

There began a family, oh, what a sight,

Here's to more adventures, beyond compare!

A serenade to their union, in each beat, each note,

Their love story, one that poets will quote.

May each page of your tale be inscribed with joy so vast,

With every moment brighter than the last,

Through the tapestry of life, together you float.

This merry journey of Paul and Chris,

Is a testament to love with a kiss.

Through trials, moves, and memories keen,

They found a love so bright and serene,

Here’s a toast to many years of bliss!
