Tying the Knot Virtually: A Real Couple's Experience

I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But that’s exactly what we ended up doing, and it was incredible.

My significant other and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with travel limitations, planning a traditional wedding felt impossible. 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 getting married online. At first, I thought it was a joke, 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 — no courthouse visit required. 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 scheduled a time with a licensed officiant through an approved platform.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our digital 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 legally joined. We toasted over Zoom, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was emotional — 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 fully legitimate — 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.

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