Tying the Knot Virtually: A Real Couple's Experience

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My partner 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 here 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 a joke, 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 secured a time with a licensed officiant through an approved platform.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our electronic marriage license approved quickly.
- On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.
In less than 20 minutes, we were officially married. We toasted over video chat, 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 looking for a way to get married without the drama, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's fully legitimate — especially if you're dealing with life’s curveballs.
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.
Marriage is evolving, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.
No matter the distance, you can make it official — and make it yours.
