Online Wedding, Real Emotions: Our Marriage Story
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with busy schedules, 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 reading wedding blogs, I came across a post about virtual weddings. 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 have a valid marriage completely online — even if you're in different countries. here 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 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 dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.
Before we knew it, we were legally joined. We toasted over video chat, 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 an option more people should consider — 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.
Love doesn’t follow old rules anymore, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.
Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
