Weddings are made of tiny moments: the breath before “I do,” the clink of silverware on porcelain, the way time bends during the last slow dance. Photographs preserve so much — the smiles, the sparkle, the big picture. But poetry captures something else: the feeling of it all.
At Haikuists, we specialize in exactly that kind of magic. Our typewriter poets show up at weddings to craft one-of-a-kind poems in real time — poems that surprise, move, and connect. They're written on the spot for guests, family, and the couple themselves. It’s a keepsake and a love letter all in one.
To celebrate the wild beauty of wedding days, we wrote 15 haiku inspired by the joy of it all:
1.
the room leans forward
as if it, too, wants to say
“you make me believe”
2.
forks scrape porcelain
a strange sort of percussion
keeps the party fed
3.
a soft mist of sweat
on the groom’s unsure forehead
love, like steam, lifts off
4.
their kiss spills over
into the clatter and glass
nothing left in doubt
5.
mirrors catch the dress
in angles no one expected
light edits the scene
6.
the dance floor exhales
barefoot, laughing, unbuttoned
time loses its grip
7.
even the silence
knows when to wait its turn
cue the trembling hands
8.
cake slides, uneven
no one cares for symmetry
once sweetness arrives
9.
one lost champagne cork
arcs like a wish no one made
but everyone feels
10.
hands that once knew doubt
press together with new weight
no rehearsal here
11.
petals fall too soon
but that’s the beauty of it
we never catch all
12.
the candles lean in
as if listening closely
to the couple’s grin
13.
a bouquet in flight
hope moving without a map,
found by who needs it
14.
they leave the building
like two names carved in wet stone
not dry yet, but real
15.
and when it is done,
the chairs empty with a sigh
what a perfect blur
