Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married online. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with travel limitations, 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 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 even accepted internationally in many cases.
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 approved platform.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license without hassle.
- On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.
In less than 20 minutes, we were husband and wife. We toasted over Zoom, smiled at each other through the click here 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 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.
Marriage is evolving, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.
Whether you're across the street or across the ocean, you can make it official — and make it yours.
