Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But life has a funny way of working out.
My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with living in different states, 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 scrolling Reddit, I came across a post about virtual weddings. 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 have a valid marriage 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 secured 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.
Before we knew it, we were website legally joined. We toasted over video chat, 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 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 looking for a way to get married without the drama, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's an option more people should consider — 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.
Love doesn’t follow old rules anymore, 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.
