Does it have to be song lyrics? There are many good readings for weddings.
This is one by Kate Fisher
When thoughts take wing a wedding ring encircles all our dreams
And love abounds above, around, enriching all our schemes
We plan together all our life to make our dreams come true
When love is there a smile, a prayer, a hug, a kiss will do
And then together hand in hand we go with love we've won
And you will see, the you and me that once were two -- are one

Northern Sky By Nick Drake is Beautiful
never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
OR... NOT FIRE NOT ICE BY BEN HARPER
there is not a river wide
not a mountain high
and neither sin nor evil
could change how i feel inside
not all the strength of the ocean
not all the heat from the sun
(from the sun)
though others ive tried i just cant deny
for me you are the one
but true love is priceless
for true love we pay the price
but theres nothing can keep me from lovin you
not fire no not ice
like a hero or a champion
you are the best (your the best)
like religion or superstition
with you i am blessed
now the river may grow wider
the mountains may reach past the sky
and whether or not you feel the same
my love shall never die

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/23trW
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

this is a poem that i came across the other day and it might be some help to you:
My Wedding Day
I'm giving you my heart
We're together now till death do us part
I made a vow today to have you in my life
And you promised to take me as your wife
I'll love you forever and for always
And I will cherish you all of my days
We stood today in front of a crowd
Looking on us as we said our vows
"You may kiss the bride"
Were the words that made our hearts unite
I'm proud to take your last name
I promise I will not put it to shame
I've waited my whole life for you
And I trust in God to guide us through
I saved myself for this very day
And now in your hand my heart I lay
For I knew right a away you're love was true
When I heard you say the words "I Do"

I had Filling Me by Chris Knox at my wedding. The lyrics aren't on the net but buy his CD "Seizure" - it comes with a lyric sheet.

John Lennon, Grow Old With Me (musically, the Mary Chapin Carpenter is better):
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love
Sharing our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end...
Something like that

Paul Simon's "Father and Daughter" in case you bounce wide awake interior the process a bad dream And for a fragment of a 2d you won't be in a position to undergo in ideas the place you're merely open your window and stick on your reminiscence upstream To the meadow interior the mountain the place we counted each and every falling megastar i've got faith the easy that shines on you will shine on you continually And nonetheless i won't be in a position to guarantee there's no longer something frightening hiding below your mattress i'm gonna stand shield like a postcard of a golden retriever and not in any respect go away til I go away you with a candy dream on your head i'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you boost Gonna paint a demonstration so which you will continually understand as long as one and one is two There would desire to on no account be a father who enjoyed his daughter better than i admire you have faith you instinct it is merely like goin' fishing You forged your line and desire you get a chew yet you do no longer would desire to waste some time demanding pertaining to to the industry attempt to help the human race suffering to outlive it is cruelest night i'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you boost Gonna paint a demonstration so which you will continually understand as long as one and one is two There would desire to on no account be a father who enjoyed his daughter better than i admire you i'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you boost Gonna paint a demonstration so which you will continually understand as long as one and one is two There would desire to on no account be a father who enjoyed his daughter better than i admire you ETA:An above poster stated those lyrics yet has the call of the track and singer incorrect. This track is stated as "Father and Daughter" and it is via Paul Simon, no longer Martina McBride as reported above.

"The Prayer" (minus the Italian.)
http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/The-Prayer-lyrics-Celine-Dion/011A3A84CC0E6BBE48256864001E98E3
I pray you’ll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise,
in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
I pray we’ll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
