How could that be the Doctor's first kiss and River's last one?

If they are going in opposite directions in time, then surely that should be River's last kiss, but it can't be as they haven't even married yet.
So how could that be her last kiss, it was clearly the Doctor's first kiss though which should mean it was her last one?

If he can't remember ever kissing her before, and she's travelling in time towards his past, it means that she'll never kiss him again (cos he hasn't kissed her in his past)
They will marry in the Drs. future. His first kiss, the relationship has yet to come
They're explicitly not going in exact reverse order, or they couldn't both have both Jim the Fish and Easter Island at any point — it wouldn't even be worth discussing because they'd never have any events in common whatsoever. I think Moffatt's tried to simplify a little for poetic reasons and not quite thought it through.
