Modern Marriage: Why We Chose to Get Married Online

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married online. But life has a funny way of working out.

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 reading wedding blogs, 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 have a valid marriage completely online — even if you're in different countries. 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 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 approved quickly.
  • On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest friends and family, and said our vows live on camera.

In less than 20 minutes, we were legally joined. We toasted over video chat, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was emotional — 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 exploring wedding options, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's fully legitimate — especially if you're working with immigration timelines.

You don’t have to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect venue. You just check here 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.

No matter the distance, you can make it official — and make it yours.
