Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But that’s exactly what we ended up doing, and it was incredible.

My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with travel limitations, planning a traditional wedding felt like more stress than joy. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long enough to make it official.

One night, while scrolling Reddit, I came across a post about virtual weddings. 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 get officially hitched completely online — even if you're in different countries. It's recognized in all 50 states.

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 virtual marriage license within hours.
  • On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.

Before we knew it, we were officially married. We toasted over FaceTime, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was beautiful online marriage — 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 trying to simplify your wedding plans, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's easier than you’d think — especially if you're in a long-distance relationship.

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.

Marriage is evolving, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

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