Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married virtually. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with busy schedules, planning a traditional wedding felt overwhelming. 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 getting married online. At first, I thought it was just symbolic, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.
Turns out, in places like Utah, you can legally marry completely online — no courthouse visit required. It's fully legal in the U.S..
We decided to go for it. Why wait?
Here’s what the process looked like for us:
- We scheduled a time with a licensed officiant through an online marriage service.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license without hassle.
- On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest friends and family, 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 website sink in. It was real — 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 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.
Marriage is evolving, 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.
