I Got Married Online — Here's What Happened
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But life has a funny way of working out.
My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with different time zones, planning a traditional wedding felt like more stress than joy. 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. At first, I thought it here was just symbolic, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.
Turns out, in places like Utah, you can get officially hitched 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 official virtual marriage site.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license without hassle.
- On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.
By the end of the call, we were officially married. 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 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 the military.
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.
