Tying the Knot Virtually: A Real Couple's Experience

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

My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for some time, 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 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 — no need to be in the same location. It's even accepted internationally in many cases.

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 official virtual marriage site.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our digital marriage license without hassle.
  • 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.

By the end of the call, we were legally joined. We toasted over FaceTime, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was real — 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 easier than you’d think — especially if you're dealing with life’s curveballs.

You don’t have emergency wedding 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.

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