Virtual Vows, Real Love: Our Online Ceremony Recap

Blog Article

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

My partner and I had been talking about marriage for a while, 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 reading wedding blogs, I came across a post about legal Zoom ceremonies. At first, I thought it was just symbolic, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can have a valid marriage 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 secured a time with a licensed officiant through an online marriage service.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our electronic marriage license within hours.
  • On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.

By the end of the call, we were officially married. We toasted over FaceTime, 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 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.

Modern love looks different, and here 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.
