Getting Married Online Wasn’t the Plan — But It Was Perfect

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married online. But sometimes things happen differently than expected.

My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with travel limitations, planning a traditional wedding felt impossible. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long enough to make it official.

One night, while browsing forums, I came across a post about virtual weddings. website At first, I thought it was a joke, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can legally marry completely online — even if you're in different countries. It's recognized in all 50 states.

We decided to go for it. Why wait?

Here’s what the process looked like for us:

  • We booked a time with a licensed officiant through an approved platform.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license within hours.
  • On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.

In less than 20 minutes, we were husband and wife. We toasted over Zoom, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was beautiful — even from hundreds of miles away.

Honestly? It was one of the most stress-free experiences we could’ve asked for. No overpriced venue. No awkward seating charts. Just us, the copyright we meant, and a handful of people who love us cheering from their screens.

If you’re trying to simplify your wedding plans, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's easier than you’d think — especially if you're in a long-distance relationship.

You don’t have to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect venue. You just need someone you love, a decent Wi-Fi signal, and a little bit of paperwork.

Modern love looks different, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

Whether you're across the street or across the ocean, you can make it official — and make it yours.
