Sposò is good. Normally you use passato remoto like the past tense, when you have a date or a point in time. Instead of that, you may also use the passato prossimo. Like "mio padre ha sposato"...
Keep it up!

Italian possessive adjectives (mio, tuo...) don't want the article when referred to a relative (padre madre, fratelli; "matrigna" wants the article though).
If an action has taken place in the past but still has its effect in the present, you have to use the passato prossimo (present perfect) tense.
Ciao!
