Virtual Vows, Real Love: Our Online Ceremony Recap
Virtual Vows, Real Love: Our Online Ceremony Recap
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married through a screen. But life has a funny way of working out.
My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with busy schedules, 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 here 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 digital marriage license without hassle.
- On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, sent the Zoom link to our closest friends and family, 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 easier than you’d think — especially if you're working with immigration timelines.
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.
No matter the distance, you can make it official — and make it yours.
