Online Wedding, Real Emotions: Our Marriage Story
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married virtually. But life has a funny way of working out.
My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with living in different states, planning a traditional wedding secret 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 scrolling Reddit, I came across a post about getting married online. 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 — 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 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 approved quickly.
- On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.
In less than 20 minutes, we were officially married. We toasted over Zoom, 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 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 fully legitimate — especially if you're in the military.
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.
Whether you're across the street or across the ocean, you can make it official — and make it yours.
