Tying the Knot Virtually: A Real Couple's Experience

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But sometimes things happen differently than expected.
My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with different time zones, planning a traditional wedding felt impossible. 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 getting married online. At first, I thought it was just symbolic, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.
Turns out, in places like Utah, you can have a valid marriage completely online — no courthouse visit required. 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 scheduled a time with a licensed officiant through an online marriage service.
- 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.
By the end of the call, we were legally joined. 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 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 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.
