Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from separate countries.
When you’re in a cross-border relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Paperwork, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel impossible.
We wanted to start our life together. But a traditional wedding just wasn’t realistic.
Then we found out we could have a legal virtual wedding.
At first, we thought it was only symbolic. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah legally support fully virtual marriages — with a licensed officiant and official paperwork — and they’re even accepted in other countries.
We decided click here to go for it.
Here’s how it worked for us:
- We submitted our documents and filled out a quick form.
- We reserved 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 joined the call, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.
I said “I do” from my apartment. My spouse-to-be said it from their military base.
It was emotional. It was easy. And it was ours.
The officiant made it feel official. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our legal marriage certificate the same day — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.
Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle immigration documents, and every agency has approved it — no issues at all.
If you’re trying to make your relationship official from afar, 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 marriage can happen anywhere — and that what matters most is the commitment.
