I Got Married Online — Here's What Happened
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married through a screen. But that’s exactly what we ended up doing, and it was incredible.
My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for some time, but with living in different states, planning a traditional wedding felt out of reach. 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 was a joke, 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 — no need to be in the same location. 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 scheduled 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 within hours.
- On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.
Before we knew it, we were legally joined. 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 fully legitimate — especially if you're working with immigration timelines.
You don’t have website 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.
