These haiku written to honor the newlyweds and the occasion of their being formally joined in front of kin and amigos.

7 BODA HAIKU

For Quilla & Jeff
Only our best wishes
Blessings for the now and all that comes.

1
After much tension
for nights for days
Release comes through sweet promises.

2
Nuestra niña is woman now
plus  man
Yay! this math of fate and hope.

3
Gown with trace of mamá
of earth and sea
Holding dear heart and beauty.

4
Wishes soar for them
Moving down road to bliss
Bond like metal, but flesh.

5
Pride.   Tradition.
Giving away yet always

keeping bride within hearts.

6
True kin  faithful amigos                      
forever               Gather
Share this time, this here.

7
So much joy
dance floor motion
Honors joining of these true beloved.
