I Got Married Online — Here's What Happened

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with busy schedules, planning a traditional wedding felt impossible. 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 getting married online. At first, I thought it was some kind of scam, 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 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 online marriage service.
• We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our electronic marriage license without hassle.
• On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.

By the end of the call, we were deployment marriage husband and wife. 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 stress-free 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 easier than you’d think — 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.

Modern love looks different, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
