Answer 1

Below are links to two of the best poetry resources I know. You can search by subject, which makes it easier to find what you want.

Theres also this one...that I love, and read to my sister when she was married the second time. Its appropriate for a daughter to a mother....

You are the mirror of my past,
The giver of my dreams,
The hope for what in life may last,
The jewel that time redeems.

You are yourself, of course, no less,
But also you are mine,
The light of all my treasured days,
The gift for which I pine.

Long may we this closeness share,
This place where memories play,
And if our friendship needs repair,
May love reveal the way.

And now that you're to be a wife
With loves and passions new,
May you find in your sweet life
The joy I have in you.

joy to you on the wedding day.....

Answer 2

As I understand your Q, you need a wedding poem for a senior relationship. Forget reference to mothership, go romance.

Everything in excess!
To enjoy the flavor of life,
take big bites.
Moderation is for monks.

A woman is not property,
and husbands who think
otherwise are living in
a dreamworld.

An ingredient for a happy marriage,
budget the luxuries first!
and another-See to it that she has her own desk-
and keep your hands off of it.
and another-in a family argument,
if it turns out that you are right,
apologise at once.

I came,
I saw,
She conquered.

Formal courtesy between
husband and wife
is even more important
than between strangers,

If you don't consider the words of Lazarus Long to be poetry, you don't know poetry.
