Modern Marriage: Why We Chose to Get Married Online
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married virtually. But life has a funny way of working out.
My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with different time zones, 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 reading wedding blogs, I came across a post about legal Zoom ceremonies. 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 courthouse visit required. It's even accepted internationally in many cases.
We decided to go for it. here Why wait?
Here’s what the process looked like for us:
- We secured 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 kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest friends and family, and said our vows live on camera.
In less than 20 minutes, we were officially married. 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 authentic 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 easier than you’d think — 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.
Marriage is evolving, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.
Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
