Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married virtually. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My partner 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 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 legally marry completely online — even if you're in different countries. 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 booked 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 approved quickly.
- 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.
In less than 20 minutes, we were officially married. We toasted over video chat, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. website It was real — even from hundreds of miles away.
Honestly? It was one of the most authentic 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 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.
