Getting married was always part of more info our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from opposite sides of the world.
When you’re in a relationship separated by distance, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Visa issues, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel impossible.
We wanted to start our life together. But a traditional wedding just kept falling through.
Then we found out we could say “I do” over Zoom — for real.
At first, we thought it was too good to be true. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah legally support fully virtual marriages — with a licensed officiant and official paperwork — and they’re 100% valid.
We decided to go for it.
Here’s how it worked for us:
- We uploaded our IDs and filled out a quick form.
- We scheduled our wedding time with an officiant who was licensed for online ceremonies.
- We invited our small circle to join via Zoom.
- And when the day came, we logged on, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.
I said “I do” from my home office. My partner said it from their temporary station.
It was real. It was easy. And it was ours.
The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was short but meaningful. And we received our legal marriage certificate immediately — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.
Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle insurance updates, and every agency has accepted it — no issues at all.
If you’re separated by borders, don’t wait. Online marriage is real, and it’s a beautiful way to start your future — even if you’re not in the same place.
We’re proof that weddings don’t need venues — and that what matters most is the person on the other end of the call.
