I Got Married Online — Here's What Happened
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married online. 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 different time zones, 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 falling into an internet rabbit hole, I came across a post about virtual weddings. 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 — no courthouse visit required. 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 secured a time with a licensed officiant through an online marriage service.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our electronic marriage license within hours.
- 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.
Before we knew it, we were legally joined. We toasted over FaceTime, 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 stress-free experiences we could’ve asked for. No read more 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 an option more people should consider — 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.
Love doesn’t follow old rules anymore, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.
Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
