Haikus are easy

So, my little sister got hitched this weekend, and there was much celebration! On the long trip down to College Station, Mom wrote the following haiku:

Sincere wedding wishes
Camille and Will pledge their love
Honeymoon awaits

This inspired a maelstrom of syllable-counting and haiku-composing, recorded here for posterity.

October 20
The death of her single life
Good luck, Will Griffin
(Betsy and Ellen)

New brother-in-law
We have a crazy fam'ly
You will fit right in.
(Betsy)

Camille and Will wed
Mom stops all her hollering
New spouse takes over.
(Mom)


And a couple post-wedding haiku:

I have made it home
The wedding was lots of fun
And I hate Mondays.
(Betsy)

Who will Dad root for?
Red Sox, Rox in World Series
Baseball gods mock him.
(Mom)
