I never pictured myself getting married virtually. But life has a funny way of working out.
My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for some time, but with travel limitations, planning a traditional wedding felt out of reach. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long read more enough to make it official.
One night, while reading wedding blogs, I came across a post about virtual weddings. 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 have a valid marriage completely online — even if you're in different countries. It's even accepted internationally in many cases.
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 without hassle.
- On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.
By the end of the call, we were husband and wife. We toasted over video chat, 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 intimate 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 looking for a way to get married without the drama, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's an option more people should consider — especially if you're dealing with life’s curveballs.
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.
