Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married virtually. But life has a funny way of working out.

My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with living in different states, planning a traditional wedding felt out of reach. 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 a joke, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can get officially hitched completely online — no courthouse visit required. 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 secured a time with a licensed officiant through an official virtual marriage site.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license without hassle.
  • 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.

By the end of the call, we were officially married. We toasted over Zoom, 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 trying to simplify your wedding plans, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's fully legitimate — especially if you're in a long-distance relationship.

You don’t have to wait for more info 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.

No matter the distance, you can make it official — and make it yours.
