Getting Married Online Wasn’t the Plan — But It Was Perfect

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But life has a funny way of working out.

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 browsing forums, I came across a post about getting married online. 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 get officially hitched completely online — no courthouse visit required. 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 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 virtual marriage license within hours.
  • 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 legally joined. We toasted over video chat, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. 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 in the military.

You don’t have to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect venue. You just need someone you love, a check here decent Wi-Fi signal, and a little bit of paperwork.

Marriage is evolving, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

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