I Got Married Online — Here's What Happened
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married online. But life has a funny way of working out.
My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for some time, but with travel limitations, 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 browsing forums, 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 even accepted internationally in many cases.
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 electronic marriage license within hours.
- On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.
In less than 20 minutes, we were legally joined. We toasted over video chat, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was beautiful — even from hundreds of miles away.
Honestly? It was one of the most intimate 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 in the military.
You don’t have to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect website 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.
