Wedding Reading Advice

I'm hoping you can give me some suggestions on what to read.

For context my Dad has asked me to do a reading at his wedding and I am struggling to find something to read. He left my mum for his wife to be (who has already been married twice), not that long ago and there are generally still a lot of emotions flying around about it. The issues I'm finding when I look at readings are that they talk about: forever love; how amazing marriage is; how you should love forever; how you adore your partner and chose to spend forever with them etc. These obviously don't ring very true with me (or most people who will be at the ceremony) who know their past. Is there any reading/poems that I can do that touch on the fact these two people have chosen to be together without being contradictory to their pasts.

Or do I just pick a soppy 'love is magical and forever and you're both amazing' and just grin my way through it?
