"Thank you to parents" Divorced parents of the bride... Probably more complicated than it

I am trying to write an all inclusive thank you to both sets of parents for our ceremony programs. The only issue is that all the examples I have read say things like 'your example has allowed me to see how marriage works' or 'how to love your spouse' well that is perfect for his parents- they have been married for 30+ years but my parents have been divorced since I was 3 and dad was married once more and divorced, mom was married twice more and divorced from both. I need to try and make it more about their love and support for me rather than eachother. Or maybe I should just think along the lines that love is love and even if it didn't work between them it was an example of why two people should not be together :/
Any thoughts?

  • Why not omit marriage and relationships entirely? "We are so grateful to our parents for their love and support which has shaped us into who we are today.  We love you!"

    If you really want kids, you can mention that their love for you is a great example for you as you start your new family.

    Definitely do not mention anything about how they are an example of why people should not be together.

  • Tanq&Tonic makes a GREAT point..

    I have a similar situation (my parents divorced when I was 5, my mom recently passed away and my dad is re-married...his parents, married 30+ years) so when it comes time for me to write these out, I figure I'll probably use that route, the example of how they raised me made me see how to love myself and my FH.
