I Got Married Online — Here's What Happened

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for some time, but with travel limitations, 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 falling into an internet rabbit hole, I came across a post about getting married online. 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 legally marry 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 booked 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 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.

In less than 20 minutes, 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 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 in the military.

You don’t have to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect read more 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.

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