Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But sometimes things happen differently than expected.
My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with living in different states, planning a traditional wedding felt overwhelming. 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 legal Zoom ceremonies. 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 legally marry completely online — no need to be in the same location. It's even accepted internationally in many cases.
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 online marriage service.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license within hours.
- On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.
Before we knew it, we were officially married. We toasted over FaceTime, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was real — even from hundreds of miles away.
Honestly? It website 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 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.
Marriage is evolving, 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.
