Modern Marriage: Why We Chose to Get Married Online

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But that’s exactly what we ended up doing, and it was incredible.

My partner and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with travel limitations, 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 was some kind of scam, 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 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 online marriage service.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our digital marriage license approved quickly.
  • On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.

By the end of the call, we were husband read more and wife. We toasted over FaceTime, 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 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.

Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
