Here we have a reading that is a beautiful piece by Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) that could be used for a father-of-the-bride speech, or during the ceremony.

My True Love Has My Heart
My true love hath my heart and I have his.
By just exchange one for the other given:
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;
There never was a bargain better driven.My true love hath my heart and I have his.
His heart in me keeps him and me in one;
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
He loves my heart, for once it was his own;
I cherish his because in me it bides.
My true love hath my heart and I have his.
